Running an RMI registry on one computer and connecting to it from another
- by Hippopotamus
Hello.
I am doing a student assignment, using java RMI.
I've programmed a simple RMI-server application that provides method which return some strings to the client.
When I start the server on localhost and connect to it by client on the same computer, everything goes well.
However, I am not able to do this between two computers on home network. The computers both have no trouble of connecting by a simple C program with similar functionality, so I guess the problem is with JVM here.
I am binding the class to rmiregistry with
try{
ComputeImpl R = new ComputeImpl();
Naming.rebind("rmi://localhost/ComputeService",R);
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Trouble: " +e);
}
And I'm doing the lookup for RMI registry in the client application with providing the argument while launching the application:
StringBuffer rmi_address = new StringBuffer();
rmi_address.append("rmi://").append(args[1]).append("/ComputeService");
Compute R = (Compute) Naming.lookup(rmi_address.toString());
Is the problem with my code or with JVM?
Thanks in advance.
