I have a corba server compiled and running on JVM 1.2. I am using the java IDL to compile the IDL file and generate the required stubs and skeletons and using a NameService to start the server. I am able to connect to the server if running the client on the same system, but if i try running the client on a different machine on JVM 1.3 I am not able to connect to the server.
However I am able to run thhis on two different machines both on JVM 1.2, these are the commands i am using
On the server
tnameserv -ORBInitialPort 2000
java HelloServer -ORBInitialPort 2000 -ORBInitialHost myhost
On the client machine
java HelloClient -ORBInitialPort 2000 -ORBInitialHost myhost
But I am getting the following error at the client side. I referred to the example on this site http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/guide/idl/GShome.html

Considering that Java 1.5 is two years into end-of-life, 1.3 is nearly five years, and 1.2 I don't know how far, I strongly suggest you run both client and server on something current, i.e. 1.6 or 1.7 if you're an early adopter, which clearly you aren't ;-)
