Interface ServerProxyTrust

All Known Implementing Classes:
GigaRegistrar, PUServiceBeanImpl, org.jini.rio.jsb.ServiceBeanAdapter, TransientMahaloImpl, TxnManagerImpl
public interface ServerProxyTrust
Defines a local interface to obtain a proxy trust verifier. A service that uses proxies that will not directly be considered trusted by clients can export a remote object that is an instance of this interface to allow clients to verify that the proxies can be trusted as proxies for the service. The intention is that a remote call to the ProxyTrust.getProxyVerifier method of a trusted bootstrap proxy will be implemented (on the server side) by delegating to the corresponding method of this local interface. ProxyTrustExporter is one example of this form of delegation.
