Not able to run a simple RMI server

Question

I am running an RMI program like follwing
import java.rmi.* ;
import java.rmi.registry.* ;
import java.rmi.server.* ;
public class CallBeanServer extends UnicastRemoteObject implements ICallBeanServer
     //main
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
          int port = 1000 ;
          Registry reg = null ;
          if( args[0].equals("true"))
               reg = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(port) ;
               System.out.println("Successfully created registry") ;
          else
               reg = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(port) ;
               System.out.println("Connected to existing registry") ;
          CallBeanServer callBeanServer = new CallBeanServer(reg) ;
     }//main
     //constructor
     public CallBeanServer(Registry reg) throws Exception, RemoteException
          super() ;
          reg.rebind("CallBeanServer",this) ;
          System.out.println("CallBeanServer Object bound") ;
     //my public method
     public String callBeanServer() throws RemoteException
     {          return "Success" ;
I have run the rmiregistry at port no 1000 like
rmiregistry 1000
I have compiled ICallBeanServer also and run rmic also over CallBeanServer like
rmic CallBeanServer
when I run this program using
java CallBeanServer false
it gives the follwoing errors
Connected to existing registry
Exception in thread "main" java.rmi.ServerException: Server RemoteException; nested exception is:
java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:

Can you please tell me what is the error?
Thanks

Answer 1

Add the classes (the stubs included) to the classpath when you start the registry.
