SOAP with RMI : impossible to run a method

843793Mar 2 2007 — edited Mar 7 2007
I am working with a JAVA application that uses SOAP and RMI, and unfortunately I have a problem.
Since I am not an expert, I am not sure that this is a strict JAVA-RMI problem, but let's try...

The system is divided in three parts : the gui (also SOAP-client), the SOAP-server (also RMI-client) and the RMI-server.
The SOAP-client can connect the SOAP-server which can connect the RMI-server. Same things for response.
All hosts are different linux machines and jdk1.5 is used.

From the RMI-server point of view, I have one service named 'fgs' running (compilation ok, start ok (including rmiregistry)).
From the RMI-client point of view, I have a soap file (.jws), running under tomcat/axis, which is compiled on the fly successfully (with one jar file that include the .class of 'fgs' put in the WEB-INF/lib folder).

Everything seems to be perfect, and indeed I am able to get the RMI object I want.
However, when I run a method, I get a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException exception, even if the method was a simple "HelloWorld" one.

More details below.
I would appreciate any input/ideas/remarks.
Many thanks in advance.

------------------------ RMI-client ---------------------

[...]
   public String fgs() throws RemoteException {
      RMIBT rmiBT = RMIBT.getInstance(); // RMIBT can be trusted.
      Full obj = (Full) rmiBT.getObj(FULL_END); // This object is not null.
      String results = "DEFAULT";
      result = obj.getHelloWorld(); // If this line is commented, then no exception is thrown and I get "DEFAULT".
      return result;
  }

------------------------ RMI-server [Interface]---------------------

[...]
public interface Full extends Remote {
  String getHelloWorld() throws RemoteException;
}
------------------------ RMI-server [Implementation]---------------------

[...]
public class FullImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements Full {
  public String getHelloWorld() throws RemoteException {
	return "Hello";
  }
