rmi/iiop stub download

[weigq]

Jboss supports rmi/iiop.
The implementation will download the rmi/iiop stubs automatically from server.
How can I add rmi/iiop stubs generated by rmic directly to the CLASSPATH, avoiding downloading stubs' bytecode?
I try this,but the VM through ClassCastException.
How to do this?
Thanks

You're probably getting ClassCastExceptions due to a bug in Sun's implementation of the method javax.rmi.CORBA.Util.isLocal(). Stubs generated with the rmic tool call this method
to check is the call is a local invocation, which they can optimize. However, Sun's implementation of isLocal() tries to cast the stub to a proprietary class. This is against the rules. Since the ORB is pluggable ("-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=...), Sun's implementation of a standard (javax.rmi) method should not assume that the stubs are Sun stubs.

The workaround for this bug is to replace Sun's implementation of the interface javax.rmi.CORBA.Util. Use the switch

"-Djavax.rmi.CORBA.UtilClass=my.bugfix.FixSunDelegateBug"

where my.bugfix.FixSunDelegateBug is the following class:

package my.bugfix;

public class FixSunDelegateBug
 extends com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.ShutdownUtilDelegate
{
 public boolean isLocal(javax.rmi.CORBA.Stub stub)
 throws java.rmi.RemoteException
 {
 try
 {
 org.omg.CORBA.portable.Delegate delegate = stub._get_delegate();
 return delegate.is_local(stub);
 }
 catch (org.omg.CORBA.SystemException e)
 {
 throw javax.rmi.CORBA.Util.mapSystemException(e);
 }
 }
}

This workaround is for Sun JDK 1.4.x.

i tried to follow the above mentioned work around to get rid of
ClassCastException using the below command

java "-Djavax.rmi.CORBA.UtilClass=client.BugFix" client.SampleClient

i tried work around but doesnt seem to be working or even get called.

But i see the same exception .... ClassCastException...

am i missing something here ?? any ideas ??
