Class Item

java.lang.Object

com.sun.jini.reggie.Item

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Item
extends Object
implements Serializable, Cloneable

An Item contains the fields of a ServiceItem 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.

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