RMI: ClassNotFoundException

C

cdvr

I am trying to setup a basic client/server, in which the server
returns a List of Row objects. My directory structure is...

C:\code\bin\
server\
Server.class
client\
Client.class
data\
Row.class
RowCreator.class
DefaultRowCreator.class

The RowCreator interface extends the rmi.Remote interface and has one
method, createRows. DefaultRowCreator is a concrete implementation of
RowCreator. Row is the data object which gets returned in a List by
RowCreator.

The server looks like....

RowCreator creator = new TableDataCreator();
RowCreator stub = (RowCreator)
UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(creator, 0);
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
registry.bind("row_creator", stub);

So I have the classes all compiled, and I open a command prompt to the
"bin" directory.

c:\code\bin> start rmiregistry
c:\code\bin> java -claspath . server.Server

I get the following...

Why can't it find data.RowCreator? It is definitely in there.

Thanks!

Thanks that worked for the server.

I start the client like:

c:\code\bin> java -classpath . Client 192.168.1.101 1900

try {
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry("192.168.1.101",
1900);
return (RowCreator) registry.lookup("row_creator");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(remoteName + " exception:");
e.printStackTrace();
}

Now the client gets

java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 192.168.1.101;

FYI, I am running the server and client on the same machine. When
running the client I tried changing from 192.168.1.101 to 127.0.0.1
and to localhost. Same error each time. Am I missing something?

thanks.

Could be a software firewall blocking the port.

This means that either there is no Registry running at port 1900 of the
host 192.168.1.101, or there is a firewall in the way.

Well I found out that something else was using port 1900, so I started
it on a different port. my next question is how can I bundle my app
as a jar such that is starts up rmiregistry for me instead of having
to have someone open up a command prompt, run rmiregistry, then open
another prompt and run the app. this is on windows by the way.

Run the rmiregistry within your server app.

Something wrong with 1099? the default RMI Registry port? which has been
reserved for RMI by IANA for ten years?
