Method Detail

getServerInterfaceName

String getServerInterfaceName()
                              throws RemoteException

Get the interface name of the service. Nominally, this should return the fully qualified class name of the implementation class, not the interface name. No idea how that "standard" got started. So, a good return value might be jpl.oodt.product.rmi.ProductServiceImpl and not jpl.oodt.product.ProductService.

Returns:

a String value.

Throws:

RemoteException - if an error occurs.
