Hello World Example Using RMI

The docs/guide/rmi/examples/hello directory in the JDK 1.1 Beta release contains the source code for the "Hello World!" example from the RMI Tutorial. After downloading the JDK 1.1 Beta release, if you do not want to follow the instructions in the tutorial to build and run the example from scratch, you can execute a script which builds and runs the example and provides running commentary:

1. Change to the /docs/guide/rmi/examples/hello directory in the JDK 1.1 Beta installation directory.

2. On Solaris execute the run script. The script assumes that the registry is not currently running.

3. On Windows systems, execute run.bat. Upon completion, you will need to explicitly destroy the windows created for the registry and server processes.
