Comments
EVALUATION peter.jones@East 1997-07-22 There is a bit of user error going on here, in that for "rmic", you need to supply the fully qualified class name fo the remote implementation class to compile stubs/skeletons for, as available from CLASSPATH, not the name of any file in absolute or relative path notation. So, what the user was doing is not supposed to work. But the failure mode is rather unexpected and should be cleaned up. peter.jones@East 1997-08-26 An update to this bug: the actual "CompilerError" is actually due to the fact that rmic expects a class name as an argument, and the compiler tools since 1.1 fail if asked to look up a class name with a " " in it, like the user's indicated file path contains. This has been filed as 4073373; I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate.

WORK AROUND Name: rlT66838 Date: 07/22/97 The problem lies in the path notation which is rmic "H:\VSSProjects\Java Test\RMI\HelloWorld\HelloImpl.java" with rmic HelloImpl everything works fine... ======================================================================

PUBLIC COMMENTS "rmic" will fail, printing out the stack trace of a CompilerError if a class name argument contains a space (although they never should).
