RMI - create thread on server to serve client

I'm developing a application using rmi which allow client to login, perform some task and logout. I know that each client is considered as one thread when it call a method on server, however, all clients' threads call to the same object created on server. So now, I want to for each client login successfully, a new thread is created (and a new object, which is used by only one client, is binded, too), a thread terminates when client logout. Hence, each client has its own server's object to work with.

Thank you very much.

Cheers

That's not correct. The relationship between clients and server threads is undefined in RMI.

In any case you don't need a thread per client. You need a remote object per client. This is a job for the Session pattern:

public interface Login extends Remote
{
  Session login(String credentials) throws RemoteException;
}

public interface Session extends Remote
{
  // Your API here
}

Have your Login implementation object return a new Session implementation object for every client.
