How to start server at the port which not 1099?

[shao zhimin]

I use java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry.createRegistry(int port) method in my server, but if the port is not 1099, i start server to get following error:
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host:172.16.2.44;nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
if i use the port "1099" ,the error is not throw.
why??

Hi Shao,
What port are you trying to use? Several things can cause a port connection to be refused. The most common two are:
1) Using a port number below 1024. Any port below 1024 requires super user or administrative access.
2) There is already a service bound to the port.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Michael for reply.
i check my code and find some error in
Naming.rebind(). my original code: Naming.rebind("Connection",connection); and modify:
Naming.rebind("//localhost ort/Connection",connection);
the program run well.

To get the URL for the html. You have to include the html file in the jar file and then use getClass().getResource("name of the html").

No they can be in different directories. You should be able to access it. For testing create one html file inside your root directory and name it some weird name. Package the jar file and try this:-
URL url = this.getClass().getResource("weird.html");
If you move it in a directory then you need to chage the abv as getResource("dir/weird.html");

Easy way is two create you own html fiule in the root and put in the hyperlinks for the respective html files.
