RMI question

[Joshua Long]

Hi, Im running a 2GHz PC with Suns JDK 1.4.2_something

Im trying to get the simplest of code to work in RMI and I just can'r seem
to make it happen::

I would appreciate if you could tell me what I'm (obviously) missing in
order ot get this to work -- thanks again.

//client code
package rtest ;
import java.rmi.Naming;
public class GreeterClient {
public static void main (String[] args ){
try {
RemoteGreeter rp = (RemoteGreeter) Naming.lookup (
RemoteGreeter.LOOKUP) ;
String random = rp.greet() ;
System.out.println( "Random phrase of the day is: " +random ) ;

} catch ( Exception exception ){
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

// the Remote interface
package rtest ;
import java.rmi.*;
public interface RemoteGreeter
extends Remote
{
public String greet() throws RemoteException ;
public static final String LOOKUP = "RemoteGreeter" ;
}

// the server
package rtest ;
import java.rmi.Naming;
public class GreeterServer {
public static void main (String [] args ){
try {
RemoteGreeterImpl g_server = new RemoteGreeterImpl() ;
System.out.println ( "GreeterServer starting" );
Naming.rebind( RemoteGreeter.LOOKUP,g_server);
} catch ( Exception exception ){
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

// the Remote implementation
package rtest ;
import java.rmi.server.*;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;

public class RemoteGreeterImpl
extends UnicastRemoteObject
implements RemoteGreeter
{
private static final String [] phrases = { "Buon giorno!" , "Salut!" ,
"Buena dias" ,"Allo", "Bonjour" } ;
protected RemoteGreeterImpl() throws RemoteException {
super() ;
}
public String greet() throws RemoteException {
int max = phrases.length ;
int i = (int) (Math.random() * ( max ) );
String rend = phrases ;
return rend ;
}
}


I run the commands
start rmiregistry
rmic -classpath ./bin -d ./bin -keep rtest.RemoteGreeterImpl
java -cp bin rtest.GreeterServer

and I get a whole deluge of exceptions, namely:

Can anyone get this to work? Im convinced it isnt my computer as it doesnt
work at the office, either..
