Re: Making the move from Web components to ejb's

    Ashley,

    RMI stubs are not automatically downloaded from the server. The socket
    factory for the RMI stub-skeleton pair IS downloaded to the client from
    the server. You're going to have to put your client stubs in your client jar
    file.
