Hi all, I had encountered this problem,In fact,the implementation of RMI references is simple,it lacked the capacity to respond to some exception.The Spring rmi client is a good job(org\springframework\remoting\rmi\RmiProxyFactoryBean,you can find more details in class RmiClientInterceptor),it provides a refreshStubOnConnectFailure property,that indicate whether to refresh the RMI stub on connect failure. (If a cached RMI stub throws an RMI exception that indicates a remote connect failure, a fresh proxy will be fetched and the invocation will be retried.) The lookupStubOnStartup and cacheStub are also helpful properties,you can learn more from the spring source code.
Need of special note is if we use the spring rmi client to connect the rim service that is exposed by Tuscany RMI Service,although,the property refreshStubOnConnectFailure of RmiProxyFactoryBean class set to be true,we will still encounter an exception. You should modify invoke method of the RmiClientInterceptor class to do with UndeclaredThrowableException, Details is : public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable { Remote stub = getStub(); try { return doInvoke(invocation, stub); } catch (RemoteConnectFailureException ex) { return handleRemoteConnectFailure(invocation, ex); } catch (RemoteException ex) { if (isConnectFailure(ex)) { return handleRemoteConnectFailure(invocation, ex); } else { throw ex; } } catch (UndeclaredThrowableException ex) {// return handleRemoteConnectFailure(invocation, ex); } } The tuscany rmi service and reference may some improvement,Spring related implementation is a good reference .Thank you 2011-03-16 fzhong 发件人: Millies, Sebastian 发送时间: 2011-03-15 20:43:34 收件人: user@tuscany.apache.org 抄送: 主题: Tuscany 1.6 RMI bug: ConnectException after component restart Hello there, I believe the following is a bug in the Tuscany 1.6 RMI binding: When I have a network of components connected by RMI references, then restarting a component will cause a java.net.ConnectException in all dependent components on the next remote method call. I suspect some kind of connection factory caches out-of-date information. If it's a bug, it's a serious one, because it goes right against one main reason for using distributed components in the first place. Example: ServerComponent exposes service "Server" with an RMI binding on port 8777. ClientComponent exposes service "Client" with an RMI binding on port 8666 and has a reference to the service "Server". Tester is a non-SCA Java class that exercises the Client service over RMI. Everything works fine until the ServerComponent Java process is stopped and re-started. The tester will then fail, because the client cannot re-establish the connection to the server. I have attached a zip-file with the example. Steps to reproduce the problem: Run ServerLauncher Run ClientLauncher Run ClientTest Stop process in which server is running Re-Run ServerLauncher Re-Run ClientTest Has anyone else encountered this? Is it really a bug in Tuscany or in some other component? Is there a workaround? Should I open a JIRA? -- Sebastian
