I get this message java.rmi.MarshalException: error marshalling arguments; nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe
What could be the reason

Hi,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

Two programs were talking to each other, and one unexpectedly quit. You might be able to figure out more from the stack trace.

Hi!

I'm also having this problem.
This code is in a servlet, inside the doPost method:

String host = "localhost";
			
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(host);
BemaPrintInterface stub = (BemaPrintInterface)registry.lookup("Hello");
			
stub.imprimirVenda(venda); // error is occurring in this line

The error is occurring in the last line of the above code.
Question: Can I use a server through RMI using a servlet?

How can I fix this problem? Thanks very much!

I solved this problem changing the parameter type to String.
I think that the object that I was passing was too big.
