JAV2I12 — Stub methods for hashCode, equals and toString

Summary: RMI/JRMP stubs provide overridden implementations for the
hashCode, equals, and toString methods of java.lang.Object.

The stub hashCode method returns the same hash code for
different stubs that refer to the same remote object.
The stub equals method returns true when stubs that refer
to the same remote object are compared. These methods allow
remote objects to be held in Java collections.

The stub toString method returns a string containing information
about the remote object, not the local stub.

RMI/IIOP stubs should provide equivalent methods. The easiest
way to do this is to add implementations of these three methods
to the javax.rmi.CORBA.Stub base class.

I propose that the definition of javax.rmi.CORBA.Stub in
section 7.2.5 be modified to add these methods.
