RMI / connection refused

[Tina Ljuslin]

Hi,
Im trying to learn RMI to use it in the scjd. I've created a server and a client but I can't get them to connect to each other. I can get the server to start but I can't get the client to connect to it. I guess I have to set permissions, but how?
Please help!

Just follow the Java RMI tutorial and if you have any problems just paste the errors over here and we will help you out.

Hi,
in the tutorial the say that u should use the command:
java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/c:\home\ann\public_html\classes/
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=zaphod.east.sun.com
-Djava.security.policy=java.policy engine.ComputeEngine
I've changed this to:
java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/c:\home\tina\public_html\classes/
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost (have tried 127.0.0.1 as well)
-Djava.security.policy=java.policy engine.ComputeEngine
but whatever I try I always get:
ComputeEngine exception: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission host resolve)
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission h
ost resolve)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkConnect(Unknown Source)
...
...
What am I doing wrong? (or have I forgotten to do something) I have started the registry (start rmiregistry) and set the classpath.
Can someone help?

I too had this problem when i started out. what you can do is try commenting out the new SecurityManager line and things will work (for now).
I solved it later on but i have to check out. I will get back later.

....don't ask me how or why....but it works now!
now I just have to understand it! ;-)

Hi,
I now have my server working, but when I try to connect my client:
C:\>java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/c:\scjd\starting/ -Djava.security.policy=java.policy suncertify.client.TestClient localhost
I get the exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: suncertify.server.FBNServer_Stub
at suncertify.client.TestClient.main(TestClient.java:15)
Does anyone know why?

Sorry for taking up your time... I found out myself.
In the client I was trying to make an instance of the server class instead of the server interface.
Thanks anyway!

Hi, I learn RMI from sun toturial . I cannot compile the interface Comppute.java since class Task can not be fund. Any one has met such problem? How do you fix it?

I made the following change to ComputeEngine.java and it worked on localhost:
//String name = "//host/Compute";
String name = "Compute";
It seems they should have written the hostname instead of the string "host" in the name...
