Compares two remote objects for equality.

  Compares two remote objects for equality.
Returns a boolean that indicates whether this remote object is
equivalent to the specified Object. This method is used when a
remote object is stored in a hashtable.
If the specified Object is not itself an instance of RemoteObject,
then this method delegates by returning the result of invoking the
equals method of its parameter with this remote object
as the argument.
Returns: true if these Objects are equal; false otherwise.
Parameters:
- obj - the Object to compare with
See Also: Hashtable,

  Returns the remote reference for the remote object.

  Returns the remote reference for the remote object.

Note: The object returned from this method may be an instance of an implementation-specific class. The RemoteObject class ensures serialization portability of its instances' remote references through the behavior of its custom writeObject and readObject methods. An instance of RemoteRef should not be serialized outside of its RemoteObject wrapper instance or the result may be unportable.
Returns: remote reference for the remote object
Since: 1.2

  Returns a hashcode for a remote object.

  Returns a hashcode for a remote object. Two remote object stubs
that refer to the same remote object will have the same hash code
(in order to support remote objects as keys in hash tables).
See Also: Hashtable,

Returns a String that represents the value of this remote object.

  Returns the stub for the remote object obj passed as a parameter.

  Returns the stub for the remote object obj passed
as a parameter. This operation is only valid after
the object has been exported.
Returns: the stub for the remote object, obj.
Parameters:
- obj - the remote object whose stub is needed
Throws:
- NoSuchObjectException - if the stub for the remote object could not be found.
