Deploying RMI problem...

Question

Hi, i`m new at RMI stuff, I`ve been through may problems at this, but I reached the point I can`t to any more.
Using the example of the "JAVA CONTINUED TUTORIAL", I reached to the point of starting the server.
I do set the CLASSPATH, and build the "java.policy" files for security.
I`m able to compile stub classes too, and put the in the JAR file.
But when I reach to this point:
java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:c:\jdk1.3\bin/ /*THAT�S MY PATH*/
-Djava.security.policy=java.policy
engine.ComputeEngine
The app throws this Exception:
ComputeEngine exception: access denied (java.net.SocketPermition host resolve)
java.security.AccesControlContext.checkPermission .....
at engine.ComputeEngine main( COmputeEngine java:25).
So I`ll show my 25 line:
***** class ComputeEngine ****
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager());
String name = "\\jdk1.3\\bin\\";
try {
Compute engine = new ComputeEngine();
Naming.rebind(name, engine); /* LINE 25*/
System.out.println("ComputeEngine bound");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("ComputeEngine exception: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
I�m not that stupid for not realise that the "name" variable, is not receibing a good path, but what would the sintacticaly and semantically good to put there???? I mean, should that path exist?? (it does actually), is it badly written???
Thanks
Thanks.

Answer 1

You're trying to start the server, right? After launching your rmiregistry?
You do in fact have a java.policy file, right??
(specified at the top of:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/running.html
I recall having a permission problem at first and I resolved it I belive by defining this file and having it in the directory I was running 'java ... engine.ComputeEngine' from.
Hope that helped. I'm encountering a similiar problem when trying to run my client, but I have my server up and running (it binded succesfully).
