RMI codebase complications

[Shawn Capron]

I am trying to modify the execution string for my RMI service the command works as expected in this format:

java -cp "$MAIN_DIR/lib/*" -Djava.rmi.server.codebase="file:$MAIN_DIR/lib/api-dev-1.0.0.jar file:$MAIN_DIR/lib/client-dev-1.0.0.jar" -Djava.security.policy="$CONFIG_DIR/security.policy" -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=server.name my.service.CLassl

but it fails like this:

java -cp "$MAIN_DIR/lib/*" -Djava.rmi.server.codebase="file:$MAIN_DIR/lib/" -Djava.security.policy="$CONFIG_DIR/security.policy" -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=server.name my.service.CLassl

The exception I get is:

java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is: 
	java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is: 
	java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: my.service.CLass

I have read that just specifying a directory for a codebase works with the syntax I have, is there something that I am missing?
