I'm writing this RMI program(s) and successfully started RMIRegistry and Server, when I try to start the Client (on the same machine as Server) I get this null pointer exception on a remote method call. getSegment is a method within one of the Impl's that are being called remotely from the client.
I've a non-RMI version of the program(s) and it works fine. What could cause this exception? method not being reference correctly?
I've also included the codes for server, client and Impl at the bottom of this message!
thank you in advacned for any tips or ideas?

you need to put "permission" in front of the call like this!
grant {
// Allow everything for now
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
hope it helps

its most likely will be over the internet. I'm reading on web services, it sounds like web services is a combination of JMS, EJB, Servlet, and all the other XML APIs. I got the Java Web Services Tutorial and exmaples, from it I've noticed that all the client calls are through JSP / servlet. Is it possible to have clients calling a client class locally and it would look up the registry to get to the server for request ? any other useful tutorials out there on the web?
thanks

I've downloaded the latest version of Oracle JDBC Driver v9.2 and tried the new statement caching feature and see how it works within connection pooling. I wrote this class that basically would get a connection from pool and loop throught a query 10 times (without statement caching) and return the elapsed time, then the do the same with statement caching.
How I have been keep getting ;

I've done some applet, servlet and JSP work. Now I want to write a program (or service if you will) that sits on top of a database. This program will receive request with parameter to look up the database (as it executes a SQL stmt) and then return the query result back to the requester.
This does not need a presentation layer, so no need for servlet or JSP(it would add overheads for the app server and alike).
I started look into RMI, JINI and even EJB. But they seems to have their overheads as well. All I need is a program that runs like service (never ends) and able to execute from remote calling froma client or some sort.
I know this is very vague, but I'm in the very early design stage!

I'm running JBoss 3.0.1 with Tomcat 4.0.4 bundle. I have successfully deployed a EJB to Jboss and created 2 clients (java & JSP client).
For some reasons, I'm able to run the java client but when I try the JSP client (served by Tomcat) I get this error message

I'm running JBoss 3.0.1 with Tomcat 4.0.4 bundle. I have successfully deployed a EJB to Jboss and created 2 clients (java & JSP client).
For some reasons, I'm able to run the java client but when I try the JSP client (served by Tomcat) I get this error message
javax.servlet.ServletException: Name greetings is not bound in this Context
Below is the code for the 2 clients & web.xml
<----------- jsp client -------------->
<%@ page import="javax.naming.*,
java.util.*,
java.util.Hashtable,
javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject,
com.stardeveloper.ejb.session.*"%>

long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Object ref = ctx.lookup("ejb/First");
FirstHome home = (FirstHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow (ref, FirstHome.class);
First bean = home.create();
String time = bean.getTime();
bean.remove();
ctx.close();
long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
