Milind,
Could you please explain exact steps required to
test RMI using
File:// URL ? I was trying to test an RMI application using
file:// URLs for codebase but was unsuccessful. I was able to run RMI applciation using the minimal class server from Sun. But I would like to understand the details of using
file:/// URL also.
All the tutorials I read do confirm that we can use
file:/// URL as server's codebase if both RMI server and client are running on the same machine. But all of them have examples only on
HTTP:// codebase and most of the time using
applets only.
If I use HTTP URL, HTTP server dynamically downloads the _stub and other class files from server's codebase to RMI client right ? With
file:/// URL as codebase, is there still a need to download the .class files to client JVM ? if yes how does it take place ?
Thanks for your help,
Mahesh H.
