ServerRef with persistent ObjID

Well, I tried to avoid this but it seems like I need to figure out how
to create one of my services (essentially my server-service) with an
ObjID that is consistent over restarts of the JVM. The reason is that
when clients have a cached stub to a server, and that server is
restarted, a client will sometimes fail with a NoSuchObjectException in
a way that is not reliably retry-able.

I know this is possible with RMID, but can someone instruct me how to do
it without RMID? I was hoping it would be as simple as serializing the
ObjID if it was not already serialized, if it was, deserialize and reuse
it during export.

I figured I would just look at the RMID code and copy what it did, but
there is a bunch of other stuff going on so I was hoping someone could
just give me the skinny on preserving and reusing an ObjID when not
using RMID.

NOTE: The ObjID does not necessarily need to be "well-known" a priori,
just consistent across JVM restarts.

TIA,

R.
