RMI server exits after 10 minutes

Question

Hi
I have a strange problem: The rmi server exits after about 15 minutes when using my own socket factories. The reason seems to be, that only daemon threads are left in the servers VM.
If I add code like:
while(true) {
try {
Thread.sleep(10000000);
} catch(Exception e){}
to the main method, the server continues to run as desired, the main thread is not a daemon thread.
I checked the accept method of my factory, it runs in a daemon thread.
Is there any configuration property to specify that the server should run forever?
BTW: the server does not exit when using no own socket factories.

No, I don't export manually. However, isn't that the job of the naming service?
Calling export causes an "Object already exported" exception.
Here is the complete working main code that starts the server (removing the endless loop will cause the server VM to terminate after about 15 minutes of inactivity):
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
TClientSocketFactory client = new TClientSocketFactory();
TServerSocketFactory server = new TServerSocketFactory();
client.setServiceName("authtest");
server.setServiceName("authtest");
AuthImpl obj = new AuthImpl(client, server);
Naming.rebind(
"//" + InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() + "/AuthServer",
obj
while(true) {
try {
Thread.sleep(10000000);
} catch(Exception e){}
Cheers...Urs
