Orbit, Java, and Windows...



Hi, 

I've been using ORBit 0.5.15 to successfully connect an application
written in C/C++ (server) to a GUI written in Java (client) under Redhat
Linux 7.2. The client and the server have been running on two separate
Linux boxes on our LAN. Therefore I know my version of Java (1.3.1) can
communicate with ORBit 0.5.15 over the network. 

So here's the problem:

I have been told that I need to get the client to run under windows. Ok,
sure no problem, it's Java (ha!). 

I brought the client over and I could not get it to connect to the
server process. Actually, it would "dereference" my server's stringified
object, but I could not call any of the methods on it. The client would
report a Comm Failure and from what I can tell nothing is getting over
to the server at all. (This is with Java running under windows and the
server still under Linux). I also have JDK 1.3.1 for Windows.

So I ran a couple of tests. I setup an "echo" client/server written with
orbit and java. The client was running on windows in Java and the
servers on my Linux box. The windows box was able to connect to the
Linux box when I ran the Java server, but I got the same errors as
before when I tried to connect to the ORBit server. 

Has anyone heard of this before? Basically Java on Windows won't
communicate with ORBit, but Java under Linux will. 

Thank you for any information.

-Craig
