Jini (Apache River) cannot initialize Reggie (Lookup Service) script

Question

I know Jini (Apache River) is a pretty old and outdated technology, but I need it for an university project.

The problem is I cannot even start the lookup service script (jrmp-reggie.sh). Executing the httpd.sh works good.

Any advice? Thanks.

By the way, here is the output I'm getting:

Answer 1

This looks like the same error I have seen when upgrading the JDK. Try JDK 1.6.0_38 (if you are using a higher version). Also the Apache River project did come across this issue and appeared to have a workaround which involves changing Levels.java

Answer 2

Sounds like you didn't start rmid possibly.

Answer 3

I guess the Reggie script attempts to gain access to configuration files, but it cant! If the script is located in: river/examples/hello/scripts Copy it on folder higher. I mean river/examples/hello/ Then, run it. Just let me know about your output. You are using 'sh' file. But, do not use the 'bat' file. Let me know the result.
