setting codebase for rmi in servlet running in tomcat does not work

[Markus Reis <ma...@researchstudio.at>]

dear all,


over the last days i have tried to set up an rmi server in a cocoon 
servlet running in tomcat (4.1.27, started via maven goal appserver:start);
all i want/need to do starting my rmi server is:
(1) start the rmiregistry (via 
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(<regPort>);  //therefore the classpath 
should be unset
(2) set the java.rmi.server.codebase property to the specific 
webaccessible tomcat folder where my class files reside
(3) create a (remote) object and bind it under a specific servicename to 
the registry

(2) seems to work (if i use 
System.getProperty("java.rmi.server.codebase") the right value is 
displayed), BUT it does NOT
-> when a rmiClient tries to get the remote object a 
ClassNotFoundException is thrown (due to not finding the stub class of 
the remote object, which results from the obviously wrong codebase 
property)

if i run the same code ((1)-(3)) outside the cocoon servlet (running in 
tomcat) everything works fine (although i use the same running tomcat 
for dynamically downloading the stub files) !

WHAT am i doing wrong ???
does anybody know if properties can not be set if tomcat is running  or 
if im running a cocoon servlet (running in tomcat) ???


i would greatly appreciate your help
thanks
markus
