| A
server-side skeleton is a piece of code that sits on the service
side of a consumer / producer relationship. The code is responsible
for invoking procedure implementations, demarshalling objects
and returning results. The skeleton works hand-in-hand with a
client-side stub. In many
modern day architectures, stubs and skeletons are produced automatically
by an application server
or SOAP server based on an interface
definition provided by the programmer using a platform language
or an interface definition language such as WSDL.
