Illegal remote method in java

问题

It's the first time I use java Rmi*. I have a custom class which extends UnicastRemoteObject and implements an interface which extends remote. I think that I have implemented the methods of the interface correctly in the class but still I get an IllegalArgumentException when I try to run my code (and it's about a method which has no arguments).

The jvm claims to have encountered an illegal remote method but the method and its implementation seem fine to me.

Is there any other reason as a result of which this exception might occur except for implementing or calling the method wrongly?

Here's the stack trace:

SEVERE: null
java.rmi.server.ExportException: remote object implements illegal remote interface; nested exception is:

Here's the interface:

import java.rmi.*;
import java.util.LinkedList;

interface Node extends Remote
{
    public boolean isAlive();

    public LinkedList<NodeImpl> getLeafNodes();

    public LinkedList<NodeImpl> getNeighborhoodList();

    public String [] getRoutingTable();

    public NodeImpl initiation(String credentials,Object application);

        public String route(String message,String key);

        public void inform(byte [] id);

        public String getId();

        public boolean isConnected();

        public void applicationClose();

        public boolean distanceMeasure();
}

and here's the constructor of the class:

public NodeImpl() throws RemoteException
    {
        super();
        l=4;
        M=1;
        nodeId=new byte [16];
        Random r=new Random();
        r.nextBytes(nodeId);
        leafNodes=new LinkedList<NodeImpl>();
        connected=false;
        ng=new NodeGUI(this);

        for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
        {
            leafNodes.add(null);
        }

        neighborhoodList=new LinkedList<NodeImpl>();
        anyNodeWhoAnswered=new LinkedList<byte []>();
        it=new InformingTimer(this);
        Thread informingTimerThread=new Thread(it);
        informingTimerThread.start();

        try 
        {
            Naming.rebind("rmi://" + "localhost" + ":1099/"+nodeId, this);
        }
        catch (Exception ex) 
        {
            Logger.getLogger(NodeImpl.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        bootstrap();
    }

回答1:

All of the methods on a RMI Remote interface must declare RemoteException in their throws clause, e.g.:

public String getId() throws RemoteException;

It's not clear why the exception names getId() specifically, it's probably just the first method it checked.

Also, the getLeafNodes() and getNeighborhoodList() methods should have return types that specify Node, not NodeImpl, otherwise they will likely fail also.
