Naming.lookup fails with Java WebStart

Question

I have a Java application which I am in the process of converting to work with WebStart. It is supposed to connect to a server to do some authentication using Naming.lookup and this works fine when running as a standalone app. Unfortunately when running the same code as a WebStart app the call fails and throws:

java.rmi.ConnectIOException: error during JRMP connection establishment; nested exception is: java.io.EOFException

This indicates an error at the Registry, possibly a security problem. You need to run the Registry with some debugging parameters to see what, such as -Djava.rmi.server.logCalls etc. See the properties pages linked from the RMI Home Page.

@kayln12: Also check the `` attribute setting in the `.jnlp` file. – trashgod Sep 16 '13 at 12:46

@EJP thanks for the logging property - the actual exception is due to the behaviour of our own code but was revealed in the logs. – kayln12 Sep 16 '13 at 14:49
