Java RMI-将客户端存根发送到其他客户端

Question

I've got to implement something like P2P in RMI. I've created two Remote intrfaces : server and client. Server is responsible for registering clients and returning client stubs to other clients that request it. How should I accomplish this? The method signature on the server looks like this:

IClient getClient(String resource) throws RemoteException;

The problem is I don't really know how should I implement that regarding the stubs&skeleton issues and that many things is happening behind the scenes.

You don't have to worry about it since JDK 1.5. See the preamble to the Javadoc for UnicastRemoteObject. As long as you quote a port number, even zero, when calling super() or exportObject you don't need stubs. And you haven't needed skeletons since 1998.
