public class RmiServiceExporter

```
RMI exporter that exposes the specified service as RMI object with the specified name. Such services can be accessed via plain RMI or via RmiProxyFactoryBean. Also supports exposing any non-RMI service via RMI invokers, to be accessed via RmiClientInterceptor / RmiProxyFactoryBean's automatic detection of such invokers.
With an RMI invoker, RMI communication works on the RmiInvocationHandler level, needing only one stub for any service. Service interfaces do not have to extend java.rmi.Remote or throw java.rmi.RemoteException on all methods, but in and out parameters have to be serializable.
The major advantage of RMI, compared to Hessian and Burlap, is serialization. Effectively, any serializable Java object can be transported without hassle. Hessian and Burlap have their own (de-)serialization mechanisms, but are HTTP-based and thus much easier to setup than RMI. Alternatively, consider Spring's HTTP invoker to combine Java serialization with HTTP-based transport.
Note: RMI makes a best-effort attempt to obtain the fully qualified host name. If one cannot be determined, it will fall back and use the IP address. Depending on your network configuration, in some cases it will resolve the IP to the loopback address. To ensure that RMI will use the host name bound to the correct network interface, you should pass the java.rmi.server.hostname property to the JVM that will export the registry and/or the service using the "-D" JVM argument. For example: -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myserver.com

```
public RmiServiceExporter()
```
- Method Detail
  - setServiceName
```
public void setServiceName(String serviceName)
```
    Set the name of the exported RMI service, i.e. rmi://host:port/NAME
  - setServicePort
```
public void setServicePort(int servicePort)
```
    Set the port that the exported RMI service will use.
    Default is 0 (anonymous port).
  - setClientSocketFactory
```
public void setClientSocketFactory(RMIClientSocketFactory clientSocketFactory)
```
    Set a custom RMI client socket factory to use for exporting the service.
    If the given object also implements java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory, it will automatically be registered as server socket factory too.
    See Also:
    setServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory), RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory, UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(Remote, int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)
  - setServerSocketFactory
```
public void setServerSocketFactory(RMIServerSocketFactory serverSocketFactory)
```
    Set a custom RMI server socket factory to use for exporting the service.
    Only needs to be specified when the client socket factory does not implement java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory already.
    See Also:
    setClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory), RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory, UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(Remote, int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)
  - setRegistry
```
public void setRegistry(Registry registry)
```
    Specify the RMI registry to register the exported service with. Typically used in combination with RmiRegistryFactoryBean.
    Alternatively, you can specify all registry properties locally. This exporter will then try to locate the specified registry, automatically creating a new local one if appropriate.
    Default is a local registry at the default port (1099), created on the fly if necessary.
    See Also:
    RmiRegistryFactoryBean, setRegistryHost(java.lang.String), setRegistryPort(int), setRegistryClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory), setRegistryServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory)
  - setRegistryHost
```
public void setRegistryHost(String registryHost)
```
    Set the host of the registry for the exported RMI service, i.e. rmi://HOST:port/name
    Default is localhost.
  - setRegistryPort
```
public void setRegistryPort(int registryPort)
```
    Set the port of the registry for the exported RMI service, i.e. rmi://host:PORT/name
    Default is Registry.REGISTRY_PORT (1099).
    See Also:
    Registry.REGISTRY_PORT
  - setRegistryClientSocketFactory
```
public void setRegistryClientSocketFactory(RMIClientSocketFactory registryClientSocketFactory)
```
    Set a custom RMI client socket factory to use for the RMI registry.
    If the given object also implements java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory, it will automatically be registered as server socket factory too.
    See Also:
    setRegistryServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory), RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory, LocateRegistry.getRegistry(String, int, RMIClientSocketFactory)
  - setRegistryServerSocketFactory
```
public void setRegistryServerSocketFactory(RMIServerSocketFactory registryServerSocketFactory)
```
    Set a custom RMI server socket factory to use for the RMI registry.
    Only needs to be specified when the client socket factory does not implement java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory already.
    See Also:
    setRegistryClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory), RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory, LocateRegistry.createRegistry(int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)
  - setAlwaysCreateRegistry
```
public void setAlwaysCreateRegistry(boolean alwaysCreateRegistry)
```
    Set whether to always create the registry in-process, not attempting to locate an existing registry at the specified port.
    Default is "false". Switch this flag to "true" in order to avoid the overhead of locating an existing registry when you always intend to create a new registry in any case.
  - setReplaceExistingBinding
```
public void setReplaceExistingBinding(boolean replaceExistingBinding)
```
    Set whether to replace an existing binding in the RMI registry, that is, whether to simply override an existing binding with the specified service in case of a naming conflict in the registry.
    Default is "true", assuming that an existing binding for this exporter's service name is an accidental leftover from a previous execution. Switch this to "false" to make the exporter fail in such a scenario, indicating that there was already an RMI object bound.
  - afterPropertiesSet
```
public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws RemoteException
```
