3.11.2 The Default Socket Factory

The RMI transport extends the java.rmi.server.RMISocketFactory class to provide a default implementation of a socket factory which is the resource-provider for client and server sockets. This default socket factory creates sockets that transparently provide the firewall tunnelling mechanism as follows:

Client-side sockets, with this default behavior, are provided by the factory's java.rmi.server.RMISocketFactory.createSocket method. Server-side sockets with this default behavior are provided by the factory's java.rmi.server.RMISocketFactory.createServerSocket method.
