Please help: connection refused on localhost

Question

I'm using RMI in a BEA WebLogic 7 environment. I've written an RMI object that
registers itself (with Naming.rebind) in its main method:
myObject mo = new myObject();
Naming.rebind("//localhost:7001/my_object", mo);
I am importing standard RMI packages, not WebLogic RMI packages. The code itself
appears to be fine, and I have deployed it as a startup class in WebLogic 7. Problem
is, when I restart WebLogic and that Naming.rebind call is executed, it returns:
java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused: connect
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect (Native Method) ...
I am running WebLogic on port 7001 on my local workstation, which has a dynamic
network IP,
so I need to bind at either 127.0.0.1:7001 or localhost:7001. I have tried both
repeatedly in my code, with and without the port number, and everything fails.
I also played with the Socket permissions in the weblogic.policy file and fileRealm.properties
file, but still no connection. I'm at wit's end. Can you help, please?

I am having the same problem. Surprizing thing is the creator (SAP) itself is not solving the problem.
