java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table

Question

I am writing a very simple RMI server, and I am seeing intermittent java.rmi.NoSuchObjectExceptions in the unit tests.

I have a string of remote method

Answer 1

there is one point missing in the above discussion. There is something that is called distributed garbage collection (DGC). If there are no living local and remote references to a distributed object the GC is allowed to remove the object from memory. There is a sophisticated algorithm to verify this. The nice code snippet from above is indeed a good demonstration of the effectiveness of the DGC.

What somehow looks like a feature is nothing but the designed behavior!
