1029: Mainline

Now you have server defined in Segment 1026, compiled with javac and rmic, and the client defined in Segment 1028, compiled with javac; you are ready to test both.

First, on the server computer you open a window in which you start the registry. If you use the code-testing registry program supplied by Sun Microsystems, Inc., then you use the rmiregistry command:

rmiregistry 

Next, on the server computer, you start the server program in another window:

java RatingServer 
Rating server connected to server 

Then, with the server started, you can start the client stub in a window on the client computer:

java ClientStub 
The client is asking server, whitney.ai.mit.edu, for a rating 
The server, whitney.ai.mit.edu, returned 24 

Plainly, the server has returned a result. Returning to the server window, you see that the client has come calling.

java RatingServer 
Rating server connected to server 
Rating server asked for rating
