+/**
+ * An <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> instance is used by the RMI runtime
+ * in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls.  A remote object can be
+ * associated with an <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> when it is
+ * created/exported via the constructors or <code>exportObject</code> methods
+ * of <code>java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject</code> and
+ * <code>java.rmi.activation.Activatable</code> .
+ *
+ * <p>An <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> instance associated with a remote
+ * object is used to obtain the <code>ServerSocket</code> used to accept
+ * incoming calls from clients.
+ *
+ * <p>An <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> instance can also be associated
+ * with a remote object registry so that clients can use custom socket
+ * communication with a remote object registry.
+ *
+ * <p>An implementation of this interface
+ * should implement {@link Object#equals} to return <code>true</code> when
+ * passed an instance that represents the same (functionally equivalent)
+ * server socket factory, and <code>false</code> otherwise (and it should also
+ * implement {@link Object#hashCode} consistently with its
+ * <code>Object.equals</code> implementation).
