I'm trying to run the example from here
We have a remote interface:
package example.hello;
import java.rmi.Remote;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public interface Hello extends Remote {
String sayHello() throws RemoteException;
}
Then we have a server:
package example.hello;
import java.rmi.registry.Registry;
import java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject;
public class Server implements Hello {
public Server() {}
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello, world!";
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Server started");
try {
Server obj = new Server();
Hello stub = (Hello) UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(obj, 0);
// Bind the remote object's stub in the registry
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
registry.bind("Hello", stub);
System.err.println("Server ready");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Server exception: " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And then we have a client, although it's not important as it is not what I'm trying to run, at the moment. I followed all the instructions in the link, and I came up with a structure like this:
.
├── example
│ └── hello
│ ├── Client.java
│ ├── Hello.java
│ └── Server.java
└── target
└── classes
└── example
└── hello
├── Client.class
├── Hello.class
└── Server.class
Before starting the server I run rmiregistry from the project folder. Then, to run the server I tried, from the project folder too, with:
java -cp ./target/classes -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:///Users/myself/Desktop/rmi/target/classes/ example.hello.Server
I also tried with file:/ and with file://, but in all of the cases it gives me:
Server exception: java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: example.hello.Hello
java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:

From what I got, it cannot find the class, like I'm giving a wrong path.
If I start rmiregistry from target/classes, anyway, everything works fine.
My question is, how can I set java.rmi.server.codebase property (included the format) with a relative path so that rmiregistry can be run from a folder different from where the classes are?
