Package problem

[Wai Iu]

I use RMI to code Network connection. My RMI program structure as following:

suncertify\client  //all the client codes
suncertify\interfaces //all the interfaces
suncertify\server //server programs, include stub and skeleton files

I have a server program call DBServer in suncertify\server directory. I use rmic create DBServer_stub.class file in this directory.
I create a client jar file, called client.jar, which including the following files:

suncertify\client  //all the client codes
suncertify\interfaces //all the interfaces
suncertify\server\DBServer_stub.class

The strange thing is when I use the command

 
java -jar client.jar

to run client code, the computer complains that it can not find suncertify\server\DBServer_stub.class. If I just directly run my
client code using java command, like

java suncertify\client\myClientProgramName

it just works fine. ALl these code are in proper package.
I do not know the reason? any one can help?
Thanks!

Look into using the "java.rmi.server.codebase" property.
Use this property to define the location of any .class files that a client may need to access when it interacts with your server. On the server side, use this property when you run your server application that does the RMI binding.
The client should be able to download any .class files it needs including the Stub class.
