On this article: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/tools/JavaSpaces/ is a tutorial how to run JavaSpaces client. I wrote these classes in Eclipse, started Launch-All script and Run example. It works. After that I exported these classes into executable jar (JavaSpaceClient.jar) and tried that jar with following command: java -jar JavaSpaceClient.jar It works fine, gives me result: Searching for a JavaSpace... A JavaSpace has been discovered. Writing a message into the space... Reading a message from the space... The message read is: Здраво JavaSpace свете!
My problem is when I move this jar file on my other LAN computer, it shows me error when I type same command. Here is error:
cica@cica-System-Name:~/Desktop$ java -jar JavaSpaceClient.jar
Searching for a JavaSpace...

I just writes "Searching for JavaSpace..." and after a while prints these error messages. Can someone help me with this error?

A class which supports a simple JINI multicast lookup. It doesn't register
with any ServiceRegistrars it simply interrogates each one that's
discovered for a ServiceItem associated with the passed interface class.
i.e. The service needs to already have registered because we won't notice
new arrivals. [ServiceRegistrar is the interface implemented by JINI
lookup services].
@todo Be more dynamic in our lookups - see above

My client program tries simply to search for JavaSpaces service write MessageEntry into and then retrieves message and prints it out. Here is client program:
import net.jini.space.JavaSpace;
public class SpaceClient {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
try {
MessageEntry msg = new MessageEntry();
msg.content = "Hello JavaSpaces wordls!";
System.out.println("Searching for JavaSpaces...");
Lookup finder = new Lookup(JavaSpace.class);
JavaSpace space = (JavaSpace) finder.getService();
System.out.println("JavaSpaces discovered.");
System.out.println("Writing into JavaSpaces...");
space.write(msg, null, 60*60*1000);
MessageEntry template = new MessageEntry();
System.out.println("Reading message from JavaSpaces...");
MessageEntry result = (MessageEntry) space.read(template, null, Long.MAX_VALUE);
System.out.println("Message: "+result.content);
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And of course this is MessageEntry class:
import net.jini.core.entry.*;
public class MessageEntry implements Entry {
public String content;
public MessageEntry() {
}
public MessageEntry(String content) {
this.content = content;
}
public String toString() {
return "MessageContent: " + content;
}
}
EDIT2: I did discovery on two Windows computers. After that I tried Windows - Ubuntu combiantion and it doesn't work. Maybe there are some network problems? When I ping each another everything is ok. Maybe there are some DNS issues on Ubuntu..
EDIT3: Windows - Ubuntu combination works if JavaSpaces service is started up on Windows and client program is on Ubuntu. When I try to do reverse, to run JavaSpaces service on Ubuntu and run client on Windows error occurs. Obviously there is some problem with Ubuntu. Ubuntu has installed OpenJDK installed by default. I installed Oracle JDK, and set JAVA_HOME and put JAVA_HOME/bin into PATH variable. I wonder maybe there is some problem with different versions of Java, maybe I am not using right one.
I found solution! That was dns issue. On Ubuntu my /etc/hosts file was:
192.168.1.3 biske-Inspiron-1525 # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 biske-Inspiron-1525 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.1.1 biske-Inspiron-1525
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I've just removed line 127.0.1.1 biske-Inspiron-1525 and now it works fine. Little thing was destroyed million of my nerves :)
