Remote Cache Server usage

[Geoff Waggott]

Hi,

I'm looking at using remote caching but currently can't get the server 
to run.

I checked the JCS project out of CVS and built it using maven.

The src/scripts/startRemoteCache.bat sscript is for windows so I rewrote 
it for linux. It didn't run because there was no 
org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.remote.server.group.RemoteGroupCacheServerFactory 
class in the maven built jcs-1.0-dev.jar, so I tried 
org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.remote.server.RemoteCacheServerFactory instead. 
That didn't run because there was no RMI stub class for 
RemoteCacheServer. Not knowing how to modify the maven project to run 
rmic I wrote an Ant script to do it.

the getGroupKeys method declared in IRemoteCacheService wasn't declared 
properly. After changing to have IOException in its throws clause rmic 
successfully generated the stub.

So now when trying to start the cache server passing the absolute path 
of a cache.ccf file as it's only parameter I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

       at 
org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.remote.server.RemoteCacheServerFactory.main(RemoteCacheServerFactory.java:283)

Is this because it can't find the config file I specified on the command 
line or some other properties file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Geoff
