Can I create my own RmiProxyFactoryBean client side?

[timd]

Because I would like my client to choose a rmi objects host/port/servicename at runtime, client side I am trying to connect to server (spring enhanced) objects like this:

---------------------------------

RmiProxyFactoryBean factory = new RmiProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceInterface(IMyInterface.class);
factory.setServiceUrl("rmi://localhost:1099/MyServiceName");

IMyInterface bsi = (IMyInterface) factory.getObject();

bsi.doSomethingUsefull();

-------------------------------------

However I get back null from factory.getObject()... If I configure client side to use xml file and use FileSystemXmlApplicationContext everything works just fine.

------------------------------------

What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a better way to handle discovering client host/port/service (and connecting) at runtime (apart from generating temp xml files)?

You need to call RmiProxyFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet() before accessing the proxy.
