Log Viewer Over RMI gives java.net.malformedUrlException

[Former Member]

Hello people...

I have a requirement where the java developers need to look the log files on the j2ee engine, but we dont want to share the admin user name and password to all the developers...

I tried ..Standalone connection of the logviewer...instead on Ni/standalone which needs sap router and J2ee requiring username and password...

I left the rmi://localhost:1099 as it is in server properites file and commented out the NI connection port and enable flag..

then started the server using "remoteserver.bat"..

and on the client..when i give hostname as the ip address of my server and port as 1099...the testconnection gives me following error...

actually ...to test whether there is a listener running on that port..i tried running client on server box itself..ofcourse on different console(VM) and It is working...giving me proof that RMI is working well..but ..when i try to connect via RMI via different machine ..it throws an error..I am wondering...if there is code setup in logviewer to identify the registry running on different host...

Did any one have successful experiences with this...if so...can you share it ..

thanks in advance..

I actually changed the "rmi://localhost:1099" to reflect

my host name as "rmi://myhostName:1099". restarted the server, but the client still gets the same error..
