rmic tool needed?

Hi guys,

I tested my project a lot and it works well. However, I just found that in Andrew's book, it also mentioned using rmic tool to generate the stub.

What is the purpose? Do we need to use this?

I made the RemoteServiceImpl extending UnicastRemoteObject, and register the RMI using the regular approach.

Thanks.

Yes, you do. In my instructions I have:

You must provide all classes pre-installed so that no dynamic class downloading occurs.

HTH,

Carlos.

Thanks Carlos. I guess I am ready to submit

Champions, I myself didn't use rmic and said that in the essay exam and in my choices.txt file. There was another guy from Brazil too (I don't recall his name right now) that didn't use it and also passed. I said that, since I was using Java 6, it wasn't necessary anymore so I chose not to use it.

Hi Yo,

in my assignment there is the same requirement as Carlos wrote...

You must provide all classes pre-installed so that no dynamic class downloading occurs.

So in my opinion you have to use rmic, because it is a must. I think we all know that this ist not necessary since Java 5, but it is a must.

I use Ant to make everything in my project, from the Compile, over the creating of JavaDoc to the complete build of the jar to submit. For example this is an Ant task for rmic:

..and this task compiles one stub and one skeleton...

Kind Regards,

<rmic classname="suncertify.db.UrlyBirdModelImpl" base="build/classes"/>

Hi Ralf,

seems like you have exactly the same nomenclature like me

.
I also named my model "suncertify.db.UrlyBirdModelImpl".

Kind regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,

I think we had the same teacher....

Have a nice evening in Munich,

Thanks a lot, guys.

I also have that "must" requirement for my assignment, so I just generated it.
