Class RemoteAccountImpl

java.lang.Object
  atg.security.RemoteAccountImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

AccountTypes, RemoteAccount, java.rmi.Remote

public class RemoteAccountImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements RemoteAccount

An object that wraps an Account object and makes it RMI-accessible. Normally this is not used directly by the client; rather it is wrapped on the client side by a ClientAccount.

Note that Iterator types returned by Account methods are iterated and converted to Set types that are cached on the client side. This improves performance noticably.

Note that password attribute values are write-only through this interface; you may set them, but you may never retrieve the true value.
