Some common RMI issues
- The package structure on the server side was changed now. All server classes reside in a
"server" package. All client classes (for you most relevant: ClientCommInterface) reside in a "client" package. - There is a reported problem with implementing multiple interfaces using RMI. The chosen solution was to create a object inside that implements the other interface
- There is a reported problem with using the same port for your local RMI-Registry (on your master node) as the one used on the lab teacher's server (1099). Try changing your port.
- Make sure you use System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname", YOUR_IP) at the beginning of both master and slave nodes, replacing YOUR_IP with the IP of the machine the code is running on!
- A last solution is to move to TCP or UDP
- Note also that the server code has changed, there are no more minus points for submitting a correct solution too late.
