Output from Sun's J2EE Tutorial

[Roger Chung-Wee]

Has anyone tried running the this tutorial? It's found at THE J2EE TUTORIAL
The output from the section entitles "Running the J2EE Application Client" should be this:
Binding name:'java:comp/env/ejb/SimpleConverter'
12160.00
0.77
Unbinding name:'java:comp/env/ejb/SimpleConverter'
However, I'm not getting the last line output. This is the client code:

try {
           Context initial = new InitialContext();
           Context myEnv = (Context)initial.lookup("java:comp/env");
           Object objref = myEnv.lookup("ejb/SimpleConverter");
           ConverterHome home = 
               (ConverterHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, 
                                            ConverterHome.class);
           Converter currencyConverter = home.create();
           BigDecimal param = new BigDecimal ("100.00");
           BigDecimal amount = currencyConverter.dollarToYen(param);
           System.out.println(amount);
           amount = currencyConverter.yenToEuro(param);
           System.out.println(amount);
           System.exit(0);
       } catch (Exception ex) {
           System.err.println("Caught an unexpected exception!");
           ex.printStackTrace();
       }

BTW, if anyone has difficulties in getting things working with Sun's RI under Windows 98, I've got script files which work.

It works fine for me.
There are 2 System.out.println statements and both are displayed.
12160.00
0.77
There is a System.exit(0); after the 2 printf stmts.

Yes, I'm getting those two lines. It is this one which is not being output:
Unbinding name:'java:comp/env/ejb/SimpleConverter'
Or it could be something that I don't need to worry about.

I am running the code on Windows2000 Professional, service pack:3.
JDK1.3.1
I did not understand the purpose of the System.exit(0) stmt at the end.
Even without that stmt also, the output seems to be the same.
A couple of other BMP-entity bean samples seem to throw some exception due to ArrayList.set() usage. I had to fix it to make it work.
