Hi,
I have confirmed that JServ is the cause of the RMI problems. An
'application' with the same RMI calls works correctly.
I was imprecise earlier about JServ 'crashing'. JServ doesn't crash.
After 3 RMI calls, JServ is busy on the 4th for about 5 minutes, and
then it times out.
Currently, I have the RMI stub classes in the zone repository. I'm
going to try putting them in the main CLASSPATH. Does this take the
Jserv ClassLoader out of the loop?
I'd be interested to see a configuration where RMI works perfectly.
