Well as promised, am reporting back. Christian was right and installing Tomcat into a 
directory with no spaces embedded in the path
names fixes the RMI problem. I noted in bugzilla that this problem has already been 
reported, (Bug #4543) and was resolved with the
solution that it is not going to be fixed. The basis for this decision appears to be 
that the problem with creating the URL is deep
within the JDK itself, and not within Tomcat's code.

Unless Sun is willing to commit to a quick resolution and provide a fix soon in the 
JDK, I would like to vote against this decision.
(I was unable to do so in the Bugzilla data base, as it appears to have a bug also and 
will not allow me to gain access or change my
password.) This could be fixed by changing the default installation directory for 
Tomcat such that no embedded spaces are allowed in
the installation path. Otherwise, this will render the development of RMI code within 
servlets to be extremely difficult for
new/other developers. I feel that RMI is an important technology, should be supported 
by Tomcat, and not be handicapped by such
obstacles.

     Marc....
