RMIExceptionRethrow

public @interface RMIExceptionRethrow

saker.rmi.annot.invoke.RMIExceptionRethrow

java.lang.annotation.Annotation

Annotation to define an exception type to rethrow instead of an RMI error. (Subclass of RMIRuntimeException)

If an RMI error occurs and a subclass of RMIRuntimeException would be thrown then annotating a method with this can be used to replace the thrown exception. The specified type must have a constructor with a single Throwable or RMIRuntimeException parameter.

If the exception type specified in value() is a checked exception, then the annotated method must declare it or any of its superclass in its throws clause.

This annotation can be used to signal exceptions to the caller using a different kind. E.g. If I/O operations are done over RMI, then rethrowing RMI errors using IOException can be a good idea.

If a method is annotated with RMIForbidden then no calls will be made over the connection and the exception specified using this annotation will be directly thrown.
