Java APIs

Hi all.

I'm tearing my hear off here. Production is standing still because I can't get the bloody RMI working.

First of all, the premise of the task - I'm running:
- Mac OSX 10.5.8
- Java 1.6
- Netbeans IDE 6.7
And I'm trying to complete the [SUN RMI Tutorial |http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/].

What I want to do is compile and run from netbeans, which should be possible, right?

What I have:
My files:

/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/client/ComputePi.java
/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/client/Pi.java
/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/compute/Compute.java
/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/compute/Task.java
/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/engine/ComputeEngine.java
/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/client.policy
/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/server.policy

When I try to run the project I get the following error:

run:
ComputeEngine exception:

Contents of server.policy:

grant codeBase "file:/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Contents of ComputeEngine.java:

package engine;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry;
import java.rmi.registry.Registry;
import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject;
import compute.Compute;
import compute.Task;

public class ComputeEngine implements Compute {

    public ComputeEngine() {
        super();
    }

    public <T> T executeTask(Task<T> t) {
        return t.execute();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
            System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager());
        }
        try {

            String name = "Compute";
            Compute engine = new ComputeEngine();
            Compute stub =
                (Compute) UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(engine, 0);

            Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
            registry.rebind(name, stub);
            System.out.println("ComputeEngine bound");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("ComputeEngine exception:");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

I suppose it's a problem with including the server.policy. I've tried to include it as an argument:

-Djava.security.policy=/Users/Jonas/Documents/workspace/RMI/src/server.policy

With the same result though.

Is it really that difficult to do RMI programming?

I would really appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance.
