Just a quick mail which might help some of you experiencing similar problems.Unfortunately, this is a JDK limitation (the URLs are not properly encoded, so there are RMI problems with spaces in paths).
I just spent 3 days solid trying to debug a Servlet which incorporates Jini, into Tomcat 4.1.
Not to bug you with the specifics of Jini, but suffice it to say there is some real hairy stuf with classloaders, codebase, rmiregistry etc etc..
I kept getting a ridiculously vague "Socket exception : Client closed connection" when trying to register a Jini listener.
I finally solved my problem by re-installing Tomcat in a directory containing no spaces. Someone, somewhere, used the absolute directory path to contruct a URL, and I guess this came from CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE, and since it wasn't properly urlencoded, it fails.
The failure gives NO hint whatsoever of where, why the problem occured, so my advice is, if yo're having unexplained problems,just TRY it.
Beware, it's not only the "Program Files" with an offending space, some genius at Apache decided to use "Tomcat 4.1" as well. At least the Unix
package was created with a bit more sense.
All problems were solved simply by re-installing to a directory path without any spaces.
Hope this helps some of you.
Others, if yo're interested, I can send you the old stack traces, but
they're really vague.
