Binding Spring RMI exported service to JBoss RMI registry

(originally posted at http://forum.springsource.org/showth...-RMI-port-1098, reposting as new thread as it might not be the same situation)

Hi,

I'm trying to bind my exported service to JBoss RMI registry.
My configuration goes as follows:

Code:

---

<bean id="SPRING_REMOTING_SENDER_STRATEGY_ENABLED" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiServiceExporter"
                lazy-init="true">
                <property name="serviceName" value="RemoteEventSourceSVC" />
                <property name="service"
                        ref="my.framework.event.consumer.source.mdb.remote" />
                <property name="serviceInterface"
                        value="my.framework.event.consumer.source.mdb.IRemoteEventSource" />
                <property name="registryPort"
                        value="1098" />
        </bean>

---

I get an NoSuchObjectException during context loading (bean creation). These are the lines that cause the exception,

RmiServiceExporter >> getRegistry()

Code:

---

synchronized (LocateRegistry.class) {
                                try {
                                        // Retrieve existing registry.
                                        Registry reg = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(null, registryPort, clientSocketFactory);
                                        testRegistry(reg);
                                        return reg;
                                }
                                catch (RemoteException ex) {
                                        logger.debug("RMI registry access threw exception", ex);
                                        logger.info("Could not detect RMI registry - creating new one");
                                        // Assume no registry found -> create new one.
                                        return LocateRegistry.createRegistry(registryPort, clientSocketFactory, serverSocketFactory);
                                }
                        }

In particular the testRegistry() method which invokes list() on the registry object.

Any clues on what should I do to achieve this binding? Is it at all possible to reuse JBoss RMI Registry?

In the official docs there's a recommendation not to do so, but it doesn't say it's not possible (http://static.springsource.org/sprin...l#remoting-rmi)

I'm using IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Linux amd64-64), JBoss 4.3 EAP and Spring 3.1.0.RELEASE.

Thanks for your help
