Hard time making the SUN RMI tutorial example work

[Esenih Camai]

I am stucked at Starting up the server, I can't get the following to work.
java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/c:\home\ann\public_html\classes/
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=zaphod.east.sun.com
-Djava.security.policy=java.policy
engine.ComputeEngine

I really do not understand how to set the codebase, hostname and policy properties.
Can someone help?

hi,
in your bin directory of jdk you can find the policytool.exe
you can add permissions (if you dont know which and it's just for testing, then you can add allPermissions) to the JRE/LIB/SECURITY/java.policy file.
as codebase you can pick the location of the classes you run.
