java.rmi.server.codebase problem

[Duane Riech]

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this.
I'm trying to specify the java.rmi.server.codebase
parameter when starting up my server.
NOTE***
I've kept the directory hierarchy of
..\..\program\suncertify\db for programming. My
server program, RegFBNSDatabase, is in the
\program directory, the stubs in the
..\..\program\suncertify\db directory.

When I execute
java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:.\suncertify\db
-Djava.security.policy=java.policy -DPort=1099
-DSDb=.\suncertify\db\db.db
-DRDb=.\suncertify\db\Reservationdb.db RegFBNSDatabase
using the =file:.\suncertify\db, it works fine.
IF I use =file:c:\..\..\..\program\suncertify\db
I get
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: files\java\duane\deve
lopment
Any ideas???
Thanks

Do not use codebase, it complicates your life and the life of the assessor enormously. Just package your stubs with the client, and you will be fine. Forget about the policy file, too.

java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:.\suncertify\db
-Djava.security.policy=java.policy -DPort=1099
-DSDb=.\suncertify\db\db.db
-DRDb=.\suncertify\db\Reservationdb.db RegFBNSDatabase

All of this nonsense should be reduced to just
java -jar server.jar <port>
