I've written an RMI service that uses the Activatable API. It requires two System properties. I've successfully started the registry and the daemon and registered the service. However, when I run the client I get a NullPointerException, because the System properties my service depends on aren't set. (I didn't provide a default value in getProperty()).

I've supplied the properties to the rmid using -J-D notation - didn't work. I've written a policy file that grants ExecOptionPermission to both properties that I use to start the RMI daemon, like this:

			

			permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
			

			

			permission com.sun.rmi.rmid.ExecOptionPermission "-Dservice.path=*";
			

			permission com.sun.rmi.rmid.ExecOptionPermission "-Dservice.temp=*";
			

		

STILL didn't work.

What is the proper way to supply System properties to an activatable RMI service? - MOD
