Server exception when calling Naming.rebind()

[Smith Li]

Hello,

I'm new at RMI and seem couldn't figure out a solution to my problem.
I'm calling Naming.rebind(...) in my code and got the exception below.
I'm not sure what's going on. Could somebody please advice?

com.myPackage.myClassRemote (this is not the original name) is my remote interface that is going to be used by clients side.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Are you specifying the codebase property?

If you are using the codebase property, make sure it is correct, and make sure it ends with a slash ("/").

[Smith Li]

When specifying codebase i only include the implementation classes and not the remote interface itself. Is this correct?

[Nathan Pruett]

You'll need the remote interface itself too - the implementation extends the interface, thus anyone getting a reference to the implementation needs a reference to the interface too. I'm assuming that your client is provided this interface along with whatever classes it needs to run. However, you're having this problem because you're attempting to bind to the RMI registry (itself an RMI server class) and it's missing a class (in this case the remote interface) to "make sense" of the object that it's getting a reference to when you bind into the registry.

It works now
Thanks!
