Help! simple RMI app with Linux

Question

Hello,
I am quite new to RMI, so I think this problem might be a simple one, but I don't get it.... I try to set up a sample RMI Demo on Suse Linux 9.3 with jdk1.5.0_02.
On WIndows XP, everything is working just fine...same JDK, same environment vars, same java code. On Linux, I get the following error whne launchin the server (rmiregistry is running):
non-JRMP Server at remote endpointhere's my Server Code:
RemoteDateImpl im = new RemoteDateImpl();
Registry r = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
Naming.rebind(RemoteDate.LOOKUPNAME,im);...an the Interface RemoteDate:
public interface RemoteDate extends Remote
     public Date getRemoteDate() throws java.rmi.RemoteException;
     public final static String LOOKUPNAME = "rmi://192.168.0.1:1099/RemoteDate";
}at last the Implementation Code:
public class RemoteDateImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements RemoteDate
     public RemoteDateImpl() throws RemoteException
          super();
     public Date getRemoteDate() throws RemoteException
          return new Date();
}so what is going wrong here?

Answer 1

hello!!
the only thing that comes to my mind regarding this exception is that the port 1099 might be in use by some other program (and rmiregistry is starting at a diff port)...
try starting it manually at a different port to see what happens...
are you running plain rmi? or rmi iiop?
