Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi All, I have been studying the problem regarding the exception I am getting when I try to start my Apache/JServ/RMI servlet client, and it tries to connect to a machine that is on my lan. I am using Linux RH5.2, plus a late version of JServ and a jdk 1.1.7. The exception that I am getting is this: java.rmi.RMISecurityException: security.checkConnect: To 192.168.0.11:1099 I understand that this means that the installed SecurityManager is being used (by something like getlocalhost()) to check the address and port for access permissions. And is failing. I have seen this query asked a number of times on various lists and archives, but have not seen a good or even partially complete answer. When I run an application version of an RMI client to the machine with the remote registry, it works fine! No problem. When the same code is included in the servlet, the exception arises. Why am I getting a permission failure? Thanks for any suggestions.
