public interface RMIClientSocketFactory
RMIClientSocketFactory instance is used by the RMI runtime
 in order to obtain client sockets for RMI calls.  A remote object can be
 associated with an RMIClientSocketFactory when it is
 created/exported via the constructors or exportObject methods
 of java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject and
 java.rmi.activation.Activatable .
 An RMIClientSocketFactory instance associated with a remote
 object will be downloaded to clients when the remote object's reference is
 transmitted in an RMI call.  This RMIClientSocketFactory will
 be used to create connections to the remote object for remote method calls.
 
An RMIClientSocketFactory instance can also be associated
 with a remote object registry so that clients can use custom socket
 communication with a remote object registry.
 
An implementation of this interface should be serializable and
 should implement Object.equals(java.lang.Object) to return true when
 passed an instance that represents the same (functionally equivalent)
 client socket factory, and false otherwise (and it should also
 implement Object.hashCode() consistently with its
 Object.equals implementation).
