Hi All, Thanks to those who helped me with my previous post. I have one more question. For the application to run, it is necessary to include the orion.jar file in the application classpath. This file is ~2megs. There are many classes in the orion.jar file that are not related to client RMI interactions. Has anyone extracted only the necessary files into a client.jar or is there already a client.jar to use with standalone client applications? Has anyone successfully used the clientassembler tool. It only generates the xml files for me when I create the client jar file with the gui tool and does not create any stub or skeleton classes. Thanks! Ted Slusser
