java.rmi.ConnectException

[ravi janap]

Hi Guys
I am getting this exception when I try to execute my application in network mode. My solution is based on RMI approach. Following is the exception

  
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 152.163.0.0; nested excep
tion is:
        java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

What may be the reason ?
Thanks in advance
Ravi

I had a similar problem, try add the following line to the command line that starts your server.
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost.localdomain
Hope it helps

Hi Brian
I had not started rmiregistry and hence the above error when I started the server. The problem however remains when the client tries to communicate with the server, I still get the exception, this is after I started the server as per the command suggested by you which is also shown above.

java.rmi.UnknownHostException: Unknown host: localhost.localdomain; nested excep
tion is:
        java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost.localdomain  

Thanks
Ravi

Ok, well remove the line then, do you not have an entry for localhost in your hosts file? I had the problem on my laptop, which is configured for our company network.When I was not connected to the network it kept trying to connect to the company IP instead of the local host.
