Rmic problem!!!

Question

Hi i'm new to rmi. i have a simple rmi program, HelloInterface.java & Hello.java as follows:
HelloInterface.java
import java.rmi.*;
* Remote Interface for the "Hello, world!" example.
public interface HelloInterface extends Remote {
* Remotely invocable method.
* @return the message of the remote object, such as "Hello, world!".
* @exception RemoteException if the remote invocation fails.
public String say() throws RemoteException;
Hello.java
import java.rmi.*;
import java.rmi.server.*;
* Remote Class for the "Hello, world!" example.
public class Hello extends UnicastRemoteObject implements HelloInterface {
private String message;
* Construct a remote object
* @param msg the message of the remote object, such as "Hello, world!".
* @exception RemoteException if the object handle cannot be constructed.
public Hello (String msg) throws RemoteException {
message = msg;
* Implementation of the remotely invocable method.
* @return the message of the remote object, such as "Hello, world!".
* @exception RemoteException if the remote invocation fails.
public String say() throws RemoteException {
return message;
i compiled the HellInterface.java & Hello.java using javac & got the class files. Now when i try running rmic for those, it gives me a set of following errors:

Answer 1

My files(the java files for remote interface, remote class - HelloInterface.java & Hello.java) are in a directory c:\rmi.
i have a client program & a server too in the same directory(HelloClient.java, HelloServer.java)
I hava compiled the files using the javac and the class files are ready in the same directory(c:\rmi)
Now i try to give the following command to create the stub for the Hello class
C:\rmi>rmic Hello
i get the error.
