Static Methods in RMI RemoteInterface

[Ray Dawson]

I'm now building the RMI RemoteInterface where I have to give the methods of the server that the client can use.

But in the server I have many static methods which gives out an error as I add them to the interface.

Static not allowed here

As I remove the static from them, I get the error

Server is not abstract & doesnot override method from.......

So shall I remove the static variables & methods from the entire server class ?
Or how shall I proceed ?

Do you have SCJP/OCPJP certification? Then you should know static methods can not be added to an interface. You should also know that you can access static members from an instance method, but accessing instance members from a static method will give you a compiler error.

Hello Ray buddy,
I recommend you to read Terry and Andrew Monkhouse's SCJD study guide for reference. It is very helpful and it provide some information about RMI.
You can also visit Oracle's tutorial about RMI.
