is this Client ID correct?

[Qusay Jaafar]

Client connects to RMI server and get the Remote object (obj).
This (obj) connects to a method in implementation class to return (new Implementation()) which is considered the Client ID.
When I run to Dos Windows (it means 2 Clients) and print the (new Implementation()) object, the message below shown:
Get Client ID: HelloServerImpl_Stub[RemoteStub [ref: [endpoint:[203.79.98.192:3141](remote),objID:[1ad086a:f336dba45f:-8000, 2]]]]
The message for the other Client is:
Get Client ID: HelloServerImpl_Stub[RemoteStub [ref: [endpoint:[203.79.98.192:3141](remote),objID:[1ad086a:f336dba45f:-8000, 4]]]]
You can notice the difference only in number 2 and number 4
Is that mean it is really different reference and then can be used as a Client ID???

Does your client connect to a remote factory that then creates a unique object for each connection request? If so then yes this can be used as the client id.

[Qusay Jaafar]

my Client connects to abstract ConnectionFactory class which return either (new NetworkConnection()) or (new LocalConnection()).
(new NetworkConnection()) has Naming.lookup() service which connects to RMI server and then return the Remote object (obj).
(obj) calls getClientID() in Implementation class and return (new Implementation()) object.
(new Implementation()) is the Client ID.
Isn't it???
thanks

is this correct???

Qusay, that sounds right. Your network version gets the object that is in the registry, and calls a method on it to return a Remote Implementation object. This is the cient id you are looking for.
