Interface RMIFailureHandler

    public interface RMIFailureHandler

An `RMIFailureHandler` can be registered via the `RMISocketFactory.setFailureHandler` call. The `failure` method of the handler is invoked when the RMI runtime is unable to create a `ServerSocket` to listen for incoming calls. The `failure` method returns a boolean indicating whether the runtime should attempt to re-create the `ServerSocket`.

Since:
  JDK1.1

Method Summary
`boolean` | `failure(Exception ex)` The `failure` callback is invoked when the RMI runtime is unable to create a `ServerSocket` via the `RMISocketFactory`.

Method Detail

### failure

    boolean failure(Exception ex)

  The `failure` callback is invoked when the RMI runtime is unable to create a `ServerSocket` via the `RMISocketFactory`. An `RMIFailureHandler` is registered via a call to `RMISocketFacotry.setFailureHandler`. If no failure handler is installed, the default behavior is to attempt to re-create the ServerSocket.

  Parameters:
    `ex` - the exception that occurred during `ServerSocket` creation
  Returns:
    if true, the RMI runtime attempts to retry `ServerSocket` creation
  Since:
    JDK1.1
