RMI> no skeleton?

[Nancy.Nicole]

I am trying to teach myself RMI for an internship I've got (I'm a
computer science student). I'm trying to compile sample code to see how
this works before I implement my own, but every time I try the rmic
ClassName.java I get the stub but no skeleton. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Your book may be out of date. Skeleton classes are no longer needed and
rmic no longer produces them.

Hmm...well, it's not working properly. How do you call the handle? I
have

quoteServer = "rmi://localhost//Quotes";

Thanks.

I don't have a short example to share, but these are the essential
components:

1) I define my server as an interface, such as (in a project shared by the
client and server)

public interface IServer extends Remote {

2) I implement the server (in a separate project) as

public class RMIServer extends UnicastRemoteObject implements IJukebox

3) I run rmic on the server and place the generated classes with the client

4) When the server starts up it registers itself as

RMIServer server = new RMIServer();

LocateRegistry.createRegistry(5001);
Naming.rebind("//:5001/MyServer", server);

5) The client gets the remote object by

IServer myServer = (IServer) Naming.lookup("//serverHost:5001/MyServer");

This is a very simple technique but it allows the export of additional
remote objects as well as callbacks from the server to the client. I no
longer remeber where I got the design from, but I've been using it (with
alot of success) for quite a while.
