public abstract class RMIServiceProvider
extends ServiceProvider
implements RMIServiceProviderStub

This abstract calss is used for Providers willing to use sockets RMI communication with requesters. Note: a Provider is not required to use any particular communication API, this class is models one type of communication but it is the programmer's responsibility to pick up the right communication model for his service. As long as the concrete service provider extends the ServiceProvider class the RelateGateways system will handle and export it correctly.
