Double host/port name when binding

Question

Hi,
Can anyone answer why I get this:
//localhost:7899///localhost:7899/my_warehouseI create a registry and bind my application to it:
warehouse = new WareHouse();
registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(7899);
registry.rebind("//localhost:7899/my_warehouse", warehouse);Then from the client when I do a lookup:
server = (WareHouse)Naming.lookup("//localhost:7899/my_warehouse");I get this:
java.rmi.NotBoundException: my_warehouseAnd when I do a listing:
String[] list = Naming.list("//localhost:7899/");
for (int i=0; i < list.length; i++)
    System.out.println("i " + i + ": " + list);
I get this:
i 0: //localhost:7899///localhost:7899/my_warehouseHow come?
Why do I get "double host/port" names?
Is it because I do createRegistry inside the code?

Answer 1

registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(7899);
registry.rebind("//localhost:7899/my_warehouse",
warehouse);Don't use a URL when calling methods on a Registry object. The bound name here is the entire URL, all you want is the my_warehouse part. You've already specified the hostname:port when you got the Registry stub from LocateRegistry.
server =
(WareHouse)Naming.lookup("//localhost:7899/my_warehouse");Do use a URL when calling methods on Naming. The above is correct but it is looking in a Registry at //localhost:7899 for a name 'my_warehouse'.
java.rmi.NotBoundException: my_warehouseExactly.
Re the listing, Registry.list() returns values that can be plugged straight into Registry.lookup, i.e. no URL part. Naming.list() returns values that can be plugged straight into Naming.lookup(), i.e. with a URL part.
