Package examples.rmi.hello Description

This package takes the simple "HelloWorld" RMI example that is supplied in the RMI distribution from Sun to illustrate how easy it is to convert your RMI classes to use WebLogic RMI.

In this package the Remote interface "Hello," is implemented by the "HelloImpl" class. The "HelloClient" class invokes the Remote class from a simple java client.

Also included in this directory are build scripts for NT, Microsoft SDK for Java, and UNIX. The script compiles the files in this directory and runs the WebLogic RMI compiler on the implementation class.

There are detailed instructions on converting Sun RMI classes to use WebLogic RMI in the Developers Guide. The instructions here are brief and assume that you have or will look at the Developers Guide.

The following section describes how to build and run the examples:

  1. Build the example
  2. Configure the server
  3. Run the example

Build the example

  1. Set up your development shell as described in Setting up your environment.

  2. The build scripts are: Run the appropriate build script (build.cmd, build.sh for UNIX) as shown in this example for Windows NT:
      $ build

Configure the server

Register the HelloImpl class as an RMI startup class
  1. Start the server with the examples configuration in a new command shell.
  2. Bring up the Administration Console in your browser.
  3. Click to expand the Deployments node in the left-hand pane.
  4. Click to expand the Startup & Shutdown node in the left-hand pane.
  5. Select the hello node.
  6. Select the Targets tab in the right-hand pane to display the Available and Chosen targets.
  7. Deploy the hello startup class on the examplesServer.

Run the example

  1. Since startup classes are only activated when the server boots, you will need to re-start the server with the examples configuration.

  2. In you development shell, run the client application with the following command:
     $ java examples.rmi.hello.HelloClient hostname port

    where:

    hostname
    Host name of the WebLogic Server
    port
    Port where the WebLogic Server is listening for connections
