According to JDK-8023862, system property "java.rmi.server.disableHttp" is true in Java 8 (i.e., proxy is disabled by default).
However, the java.rmi properties page still lists the value as false: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/rmi/javarmiproperties.html . I think that page should be updated to indicate the new default value of true. Regards, ~benjamin ************************ Benjamin Philip Horstman Software Lead - Rho Team MIM Software Inc.
