I am trying to get the MUD example running from the third edition of the book Java Examples in a Nutshell. However, it does not seem to have good documentation as to how to correctly package, manifest and deploy. Are there any RMI gurus out there that can help me get this up and running? The following are the classes and their roles. I also include the package specification so that possibly you can tell me where these packages ultimately need to end up in order to run. I simply want to run both the client and server on my local machine for now.
Classes:
Mud - this is a class containing all interface declarations
MudServer - obvious implementation of server
MudClient - also obvious implementation of client
MudPlace and MudPerson - implementation of remote objects
package: package je3.rmi;
I think my confusion lies in how to construct the .jar files and include manifests. Then finally where these jar files need to reside in order to start the rmiregistry and run the server and client. If anyone doesnt mind tutoring me through this or at the very least pointing me in a direction to get clear instructions, it would be much appreciated. I am using Tiger 5.0 so I understand that you dont need to run RMIC to generate stubs anymore. but I am having trouble finding documentation even on this.
