Port already in use

[Leandro Coutinho]

Hi folks! Happy New Year!!

I'm having problems with rmi. It doesn't matter which port I choose, I get Port already in use: 1212

Here's the code:

rmiregistry 1212 &
rmiregistry 1212 & java -cp classes -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:classes/ example.hello.Server

The default port for the RMI Registry is 1099. Just leave out the port number.

Thanks Edward!

My mistake was on the second line. The correct command is:
java -classpath classDir -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:classDir/ example.hello.Server

The documentation says to use an & in the end of the command, but it works without it and I don't know its utility.

So I just executed this in one console: rmiregistry
And this in on the other console: java -classpath classDir -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:classDir/ example.hello.Server

Regards,
Leandro.

If you want to start a new process:
Windows is: start rmiregistry [optional port]
Unix is: rmiregistry [optional port] &
