Run a sample RMI application - rmi

Question

I am trying to run the example given in the official Oracle website of a RMI application.Here is my oldest post where I explain the previous problems I had Running a sample RMI application.
However, I still have this problem :
ComputeEngine exception:

This is the content of the ComuteEngine.java (server):
package engine;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry;
import java.rmi.registry.Registry;
import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject;
import compute.Compute;
import compute.Task;
public class ComputeEngine implements Compute {
public ComputeEngine() {
super();
}
public <T> T executeTask(Task<T> t) {
return t.execute();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager());
}
try {
String name = "Compute";
Compute engine = new ComputeEngine();
Compute stub =
(Compute) UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(engine, 0);
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
registry.rebind(name, stub);
System.out.println("ComputeEngine bound");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("ComputeEngine exception:");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Does anyone know how to resolve that issue ?

Answer 1

I succeded to launch my program by adding :
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1099);
before creating the security manager.However, launching simply the rmiregistry from my terminal didn't work. I think because of a communcation problem between the server and the rmiregistry, maybe because I have to add some classes to the classpath but I don't know how to do that properly.
