public class UnmarshalException
extends RemoteException

An UnmarshalException can be thrown while unmarshalling the parameters or results of a remote method call if any of the following conditions occur:

• if an exception occurs while unmarshalling the call header
• if the protocol for the return value is invalid
• if a java.io.IOException occurs unmarshalling parameters (on the server side) or the return value (on the client side).
• if a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException occurs during unmarshalling parameters or return values
• if no skeleton can be loaded on the server-side; note that skeletons are required in the 1.1 stub protocol, but not in the 1.2 stub protocol.
• if the method hash is invalid (i.e., missing method).
• if there is a failure to create a remote reference object for a remote object's stub when it is unmarshalled.
