Reconnect RMI client after server restart

Question

I have an RMI server and a desktop RMI client. When I restart the server, I get errors in the client. Is it possible to restart the RMI connection without restarting the cli

Answer 1

If you're using Spring (namely RmiProxyFactoryBean), you can simply set the property refreshStubOnConnectFailure to true and the bean will survive a restart of the server.
