Hello, gentlemen. The problem was solved.

   I've just fixed the problem with help of the Jan Newmarch's JINI
tutorial. I'm showing its section 2.6 below:
------
2.6. Network Configuration

A long-term aim in pervasive computing is to have zero configuration,
whereby you can plug devices into a network and things "just work".
Jini goes a long way towards making this possible at the service
level, but the current implementation relies heavily on a functioning
network layer: problems with misconfiguration of the network can cause
lots of problems to Jini.

Typical error


java.rmi.ConnectException: connection refused or timed out to
               BasicObjectEndpoint[88133900-39f9-466a-880b-de8ce6653a63,
                                   TcpEndpoint[0.0.0.0:1831]]; nested
exception is:
        java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

This error can occur by using the new configuration mechanism, where a
service is exported by Jeri using


    exporter = new BasicJeriExporter(TcpServerEndpoint.getInstance(0),
                                     new BasicILFactory());


This finds the localhost, gets its host name and IP address and
listens on any available port. I lost several days over this as the
hostname on one machine was incorrectly set, and the Java network
layer (by InetAddress.getLocalHost()) was unable to determine the IP
address of localhost and returned "0.0.0.0" - and nothing could
connect to that address!

The solution was to correctly set the hostname on that machine. Then
services could be found and run on that machine. Alternatively,
TcpServerEndpoint.getInstance(0) could be replaced by
TcpServerEndpoint.getInstance("my_ip_address", 0) (for a suitable
"my_ip_address" of course!) in the configuration files for the
services in that machine
----

   I have adopted that suggestion (replaced
TcpServerEndpoint.getInstance(0) by
TcpServerEndpoint.getInstance("my_ip_address",0)) AND I've commented
the lines on /etc/hosts files associating the 127.0.0.1 IP address to
server and client's hostnames. The problem was solved. But, as a final
question, I ask: why the linux distributions put that information on
/etc/hosts file?

   Good Sunday to everybody.

   Helcio Wagner.
