java.rmi.UnmarshalException: (RMIunder Linux)

hai,
I am facing a problem in rmi , when running my RMI server program, I am a beginner to this area, earlier it was working and i got the output, i didnt change anything, i used three windows to test my program, one for rmiregistry, another for running the server and other for running the client.
But when i execute server, after two seconds i got the following error,
Trouble java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return; nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
please help me to solve this.

You said you didn't change anything from before. So was the only difference that you used 3 different windows to start the programs? Hwo did you do it before when it did work? What order didi you start them in?

I got exactly the same thing trying to start a simple server on the same machine as the rmiregistry is running:
Error unmarshaling return header; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
The thing is, there is only one computer that is able to start the server properly, all others give this exception.
Why is this happening and what do I do about it? *hopeless*

I'm facing the same problem. When I run the server on other machines everything is ok. When I run the server on my machine (Linux Red Hat 9 - jdk 1.4.2) I got this exception:
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy Cadastrador

Did you find the reason for this to happen?

SOLVED:
I read in another discussion list about changing the jdk.
I was using the j2sdk1.4.2 from SUN and now I got it from Blackdown (www.blackdown.org) and my server is working !!

Well Im glad that you got things working, but that doesn't explain why it wasn't working before.
I wish we had some better idea why its not working for somepeople. Are you trying to run everything on a single machine(RH9)? And it doesn't work but when running everything on a different machine it does or are you saying that when you run the server on a different machine and the client from yours, that it works?

To resolve this problem you can use the command on Linux:
[user@server]$ which rmiregistry
Probably will show the rmi from Linux
>>[user@server]$ which rmiregistry
>>/user/bin/rmiregistry
You can just remove or change the name, see bellow.
>>[user@server]$cd /usr/bin
>>[user@server]$mv rmiregistry _rmiregistry
>>[user@server]$mv rmic _rmic
if you type the command again see the result.
>>[user@server]$ which rmiregistry
>>/user/local/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/rmiregistry //This is the correct rmiregistry to use.
For me it's work fine.
