Java RMI and queue problems

671 views Asked by At

I am writing a java program and I use rmi for net communication. I export a remote object and more clients can connect. This object contains a method that returns another remote object, different for every client. The returned objects contains two LinkedBlockingQueue. When multiple clients are connected, it seems that they take messages from the same queue. Here the first interface

public interface RMIInterface extends Remote {
    public ConnectionInterface createConnection () throws RemoteException;
}

this is the first object

public class RMIImplementation extends UnicastRemoteObject implements RMIInterface {
    @Override
    public ConnectionInterface createConnection() throws RemoteException {
        ...
    }

}

this is the second interface

public interface ConnectionInterface extends Remote {
    public void sendMessage (Message info) throws RemoteException;

    public Message getMessage() throws RemoteException;
}

this is the second object

public class RMIConnection implements ConnectionInterface{

    private LinkedBlockingQueue<Message> in;
    private LinkedBlockingQueue<Message> out;

    ServerRMIConnection() {
        in = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Message> ();
        out = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Message> ();

        try {
            UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(this, 0);
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
        }
    }   

    @Override
    public void sendMessage (Message info){
        in.offer(info);
    }

    @Override
    public Message getMessage() {
        Message message=null;
        try {
            info = out.poll(120, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        }

        return message;
    }
}

When two or more clients call the getMessage method, they receive the same message. Any ideas?

As you're ignoring exceptions calling exportObject(), it is probably failing. Never do that. Print the exception.
