Interface ServerProxyTrust

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. ProxyTrustILFactory is another example.
