Class EntryClass

java.lang.Object
com.sun.jini.reggie.EntryClass
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class EntryClass extends Object implements Serializable
An EntryClass is a descriptor for an entry class, packaged up for transmission between client-side proxies and the registrar server. Instances are never visible to clients, they are private to the communication between the proxies and the server. Note that we don't transmit information about interfaces implemented by the class, because it isn't necessary given the specific use of type information for entries.

This class only has a bare minimum of methods, to minimize the amount of code downloaded into clients.
