Hi All,
I'm a newbie to RMI and I'm having a bit of a problem with dynamic code download.



I would like the client to download the following files from the

HTTP Class Server:



- Compute.class I cast the Object looked up in the RMI Registry to Compute remote interface type.

- Task.class I pass an argument of type Task on to the method executeTask(Task t); of Impl. class.

- Pi.class Pi class is an implementation of Task inteface and an instance is used on the client
side as an argument passed on to the executeTask(Task t); of Impl. class.

- ComputeEngine_Stub.class Stub class needed to act as a client proxy for remote method invocation.




OUTPUT FROM [RMI: HTTP Class Server @port=2001]

server host: alen

client host: FAMILY

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connected: Socket[addr=alen/192.168.0.2,port=3784,localport=2001]

file: D:

As seen in the above log, client currently only downloads the ComputeEngine_Stub.class from my http server.
As the server downloads the Compute.class and Task.class, I would like the client to do the same.



Note:
client's CLASSPATH contains the Compute.class, Task.class, Pi.class and ComputePi.class
Removing the Compute.class, Task.class and Pi.class from the client's CLASSPATH gives me
a problem that the client cannot locate the Compute.class, Task.class and Pi.class classes
but these are the classes I would like the client to download from the http server including
the already downloaded _Stub class.

Any help would be appreciated
