This reference application is started as follows: - Copy the files to some place where you can start the programs. - Start the RMI registry and the server by executing "runserver.bat". - Run the client by running "runclient.bat". Observe that the "stub" file is not included in the client directory, so it has to be downloaded by http from the server (in this case from "http://www.sit.fi/~kary/advjava/ExcS00/Exc7Ref/")! Remarks: - "runserver.bat" switches to the parent directory before starting rmiregistry so that rmiregistry can not find the stub classes in the CLASSPATH. Then it changes back to the old directory, which should be called "Exc4Ref", otherwise it will not work.
