STUB
A client-side representation of a remote object that is used to invoke
methods on the implementation of the remote object.
Defines the interface to the remote object implementation of an object.
The stub is responsible for packaging up the client request,
serializing
it,
and shipping it to the companion skeleton on the server side.
Skeleton A
server-side representation of a remote object that takes serialized
requests from a stub, deserializes and unpacks it, and submits it as a
method call to be invoked on the object's implementation.
The server-side skeleton is responsible for deserializing
and unpacking the request from its companion client-side stub.
