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I know Jini (Apache River) is a pretty old and outdated technology, but I need it for an university project.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

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

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-415

Sounds like you didn't start rmid possibly.

I just started it with `rmid -J-Djava.security.policy=rmid.policy` and I get the exact same error. Is there any other way to do it properly? – Viktor Jun 14 '13 at 18:48

did the HTTP server start properly? what's the command for it? any error logs in the http server? – Rocky Pulley Jun 14 '13 at 18:54
Nope, not at all. The HTTP server started perfectly. The command is just `./scripts/httpd.sh` according to [this guide](http://river.apache.org/user-guide-basic-river-services.html) -- with this output `+ java -jar ../../lib/classserver.jar -port 8080 -dir lib:../../lib-dl Jun 14, 2013 8:07:19 PM com.sun.jini.tool.ClassServer run INFO: ClassServer started [[lib/, ../../lib-dl/], port 8080]` – Viktor Jun 14 '13 at 19:00

so you can open http://localhost:8080/reggie-dl.jar in a browser and it downloads the file? If that works I'm not sure what else it could be, other than maybe some file permissions issues on the server. – Rocky Pulley Jun 14 '13 at 19:02
Yes, that works. Just Reggie doesn't start. And `java.policy` contains the grant `permission java.security.AllPermission;` – Viktor Jun 14 '13 at 19:07
yes i saw you have the java permissions file, I was talking about file permissions. I'm guessing maybe you are running this on linux, does the directory it's running under have write permissions. I know it writes some log files, maybe it can't create the log files due to the OS file system permissions. – Rocky Pulley Jun 14 '13 at 19:43

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.

In addition, open the script in editor. check: at the beginning there should be a 'set -x' command. Then, Jini was developed long time ago. The JDK is Java 1.6 update 24. – Emad Van Ben Jun 15 '13 at 09:15
on thing more, run the httpd.sh with verbose option to check that reggie can request the httpd or not. $ sh httpd.sh -verbose – Emad Van Ben Jun 15 '13 at 09:18
Did all of the above. Still the same errors. This is the Reggie script `set -x java -Djava.security.policy=config/start.policy \ -Djava.ext.dirs=../../lib-ext/ \ -jar ../../lib/start.jar \ config/start-reggie.config` – Viktor Jun 15 '13 at 09:29
