RMI Client connecting to port other than 1099

[Sham Delaney]

Hi,

I am having a problem with my client not being able to connect to server when the port is a port other than 1099.

My server is running fine on any port i specify.
Client connects no problem on 1099.
But when server is started on another port, I get a remote exception.
It is a java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect.

Here is code i use to connect from client..

service = (ServerInterface) Naming.lookup("rmi://" + hostName + "/ServerInterface");

Do i need to specify what port the client connects to?
If so, How do i do this?

Use the following:

Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(hostName, rmiPort);
service = (ServerInterface) registry.lookup(serviceName);

Hi,

I realised my mistake and got it to work using..

service = (ServerInterface) Naming.lookup("rmi://" + hostName + ":" + rmiPort + "/ServerInterface");

Thanks for the help.

Oliver, is there any benefit to using the way I am connecting...and the way you are connecting?

I guess not. I write it the way I do just because I find it more readable.
