I have also updated the calendar to include the readings for after test 4.

As far as the final, I have decided that the grade you get on the final will replace your lowest test grade. Specifically, I will only use your four best grades from Test 1-4 and the final. So you can also choose to not take the final if you are happy with your grade without it.

Update Monday April 09, 10:22PM Also, in order to maintain the test-to-PS grade ratio the same in the final grade, each one of the four tests will now be worth 10% of the final grade. So, its 15% for each PS, and 10% for each test.

• Which of the following choices is something that an RMI remote interface does not need to do?

  • Declare the interface as public.
  • Extend Remote, directly or indirectly.
  • Each method must throw a RemoreException, or higher.
  • Every argument that is a remote object must be declared with the remote interface type.
  • Import java.rmi.Remote.

• Which one of the following is not true.

  • An application can bind/unbind to a registry running on any machine.
  • A remote object server can run on any machine with a JVM.
  • An application can do a lookup on a registry running on any machine.
  • A remote object implementation can implement many remote object interfaces.
  • A remote interface must implement Remote.

Since I am not concerned with security for the purposes of this class, I suggest that you simply do not set a securityManager. That is, do not make a call to System.setSecurityManager. Then you can start the server with the command:

J:\getStart>java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:///j:/getStart/ examples.hello.HelloImpl

If you are interested, I also found that the policy file:

grant {
	// Allow everything for now
	permission java.security.AllPermission;
	permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:1024-65535", "connect,accept";
	permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:80", "connect";
};

With this, you should be able to at least run the getStarted demo from Sun.

If you compile it with jdk 1.3, the compiler will tell you that its overriding a deprecated API, but we don't care about that.

There is a comment in the code that shows you how to start mini-webserver from your remote server, so you don't have yet another program to run.

• Bring your questions to class this Wednesday.
• PS1, like all of them, is due before class, no exceptions.
• The calendar is constantly being updated to reflect what we will cover and what you should be reading. Check it often.
