Re: Tomcat RMI and Eclipse

[Jean-Francois Arcand]

Well, are you sure your complex object doesn't have any reference to an 
Eclipse object? I guess that's the problem. Since the missing object is 
not on the Tomcat classpath, then it is normal you receive that error.

Thanks Chris for your thoughts... Hmmm there is no string "Group/Tomcat" anywhere in 
my code, so maybe it is somewhere within the
Tomcat code?? I don't have the Tomcat source code, but guess I could download it :-( 
and take a look see if no one else has more
info or a better idea....

Sometimes it helps to recreate the exception...

URL url = new URL("Group/Tomcat");
will result in:
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Group/Tomcat
My guess is that since you are getting an java.rmi.ServerException, the
exception is being generated on the server after the RMI connection
takes place.
So, it seems to me you need to find that string "Group/Tomcat" (e.g.,
grep for it) and find out where that is being placed into a URL.
I have no idea why this would happen with Tomcat and not in eclipse
though.

Hi, I have a puzzler and hope someone on this group might be able to give me a few pointers as to where to look for a
     

solution....  I am running the Tomcat 4.1.18 server on a Win2000 machine and am developing a servlet which will act as an RMI client
and makes remote calls to another machine. For the most part this RMI link is working, especially for remote method calls which pass
and/or return simple Java objects such as ints or strings. However, I have one method which I call that passes and returns a more
complex object (which has been declared as serializable) and it is with this method that I am having a problem/puzzler.
 

For development purposes, I am using the Eclipse IDE with the Tomcat plugin. When I run the Tomcat server from within the
     

Eclipse IDE, and test out my servlet, everything works fine including all RMI calls, and in particular the call to this remote
method to which I am passing and returning a more complex Java object!
 

However, when I run the Tomcat server standalone, when the servlet makes this particular RMI call, to this method passing and
     

returning the complex Java object, I get the following exception:
 

java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:

java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Group/Tomcat



Note, the servlet has made a number of RMI calls to the remote object, successfully, prior to making this particular call. Why
     

this particular call works when Tomcat is running within the Eclipse IDE and fails when Tomcat is running standalone has got me
puzzled! It does not matter whether I turn debugging on or off for the Tomcat server either. I thought maybe there  could be some
kind of race condition but these calls all occur within the main servlet thread, so I don't understand how that could be the case.
Nor can I come up with anything that might be timing related.... I have also checked all supporting Jar files and made sure they
were the same...  Any ideas on what else might be different between the Eclipse IDE and the Tomcat standalone environment?
 

Any thoughts appreciated....   Marc....
