Adding an attribute to the javaspace05 service instance

Hi All,

I would like to add additional Attributes to the javaspaces05 service automatically from a remote client.

For that purpose, I created my own Entry implementation:

import java.util.Date;

import net.jini.entry.AbstractEntry;

public class MyEntry extends AbstractEntry {

      private static final long serialVersionUID = -3131394991217559764L;

      public String myName = null;

      public Date birthDate = null;

      public MyEntry() {

      }

}

The problem is that when I attempt to add this attribute to the service (using the joinAdmin), I'm getting the following exception:

java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException in server thread; nested exception is:

      java.rmi.UnmarshalException: unmarshalling method/arguments; nested exception is:

      java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: infrastructure.jini.discovery.service.entries.MyEntry

Where should I place the jar with the class definition of MyEntry so that the jini server would be able to get its definition (I'm not interested in using the code download feature. I would rather install it somewhere on the server statically)?

Thanks in advance,

Asaf
