## Interface Skeleton

- Deprecated.
  no replacement. Skeletons are no longer required for remote method calls in the Java 2 platform v1.2 and greater.

      @Deprecated
      public interface Skeleton

  The `Skeleton` interface is used solely by the RMI implementation.

  Every version 1.1 (and version 1.1 compatible skeletons generated in 1.2 using `rmic -vcompat`) skeleton class generated by the rmic stub compiler implements this interface. A skeleton for a remote object is a server-side entity that dispatches calls to the actual remote object implementation.

  Since:
    1.1

        `opnum` - operation number
        `hash` - stub/skeleton interface hash
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if a general exception occurs.
