public interface Peer
Peer is an abstraction for a connection endpoint, similar to a socket in the TCP/IP world. Peer is extended by the ClientPeer and ServerPeer interfaces. Each LRMI logical connection is abstracted by a pair of ClientPeer and ServerPeer. Physical connections may be shared (this is implementation dependent). Each connection has a timeout attribute, for network oriented operations (connect, invoke, read). Each connection may have a security context property. A security context is an object that may be passed by the protocol adapter provider from a client peer to a server peer in an invocation. A client peer usually sets the security context of its peer, and the server can retreieve it. Sophisticated protocol adapter implementations can use a caching mechanism of the security context on the server peer, forwarding a new security context only upon change of the client security context.
