Where does the LockManager class lie ? db.jar or Server.jar ?

I think the LockManager class should stay in db.jar ,but some one advise me to place it in the server.jar . Whitch is right ?

Zhou, how many jars do you have? You should only have 2 one for the client and one for the server. So in many cases the db and the server are the same jar. if you called you server.jar, db.jar.

I think the db.jar should be in two jar files , one is the server.jar and the other is the client.jar . Am i right ?

I have the same problem about db classes available to the client in standalone mode.
In RMI server mode the client does not need the db classes, but in standalone mode the client accesses the server db classes. Is this right or not. For that I put the server.jar in the classpath of the client. Thanks for your advices.

You will put some of the db package classes in your client.jar.
You will need them for Local mode. You will also hav ethe _stubs from the server also in your client.jar
Zhou - Yes there are only two jars client.jar and server.jar, there is no db.jar unless you want to call your server.jar db.jar, which I think is a misnomer.

Mark,
As you say we need the stub implementation in the client jar, otherwwise it does not work, the RMI connection sends a Remote Exception. But how comes the stub must be in the client jar. Why isn't there a complete separation possible between client and server in remote mode? (interface in the client and implementation of the stub in the server). Sorry if this question looks stupid but I need an explanation here.
Thanks,
Charles.

Finally I put it in server.jar.

Charles, the reason is simple. In this assignment we are not using Dynamic Downloading of stub classes. In order to do that you would need a web server. Which of course most people don't keep in their back pockets.

So then the class would need to be accessible to the client, and the client.jar is the best place for this.

BTW, I personally submitted three jars: a client, a server, and a shared jar with all the shared classes needed by both client and server. The Class-Path manifest attribute will glue the jars together.
