Hi, Alexander.  Sorry it took me so long to reply.

I don't either.  Nothing obvious in the server.log or debug.log files.

Would you be willing to send me the data.xml file you tried to load
into the server?  With that and the ganymede-1.0.10.tar.gz and
userKit-1.0.5.tar.gz files, I should in theory have everything needed
to see what the problem is.

At least, to see what the problem is if it is a problem in my code,
and not in the FreeBSD Java implementation.  If the JDK for FreeBSD
has bugs, I would presumably have different results when I try to load
your data file.

If you would be so willing, send your data.xml file to
jonabbey@arlut.utexas.edu, rather than to the ganymede-help list.

I'll keep your data file only long enough to see if I get the same
error, and no one else will see it.

If your intent is to deliberately limit the Ganymede server so that it
does not respond to requests from outside the localhost, you might try
telling the install scripts that the server's hostname is 'localhost'
or '127.0.0.1'.

By default, the Ganymede server will complain about this, because it
would mean that the RMI Registry can't give out an IP address for the
server that any remote client could connect to.  You can override this
complaint by editing the runServer script, and adding -forcelocalhost
to the Java invocation line, directly after the
arlut.csd.ganymede.Ganymede class name.

The runServer script has detailed instructions on this.  See also item
number 17 in the FAQ file included with Ganymede 1.0.10.

I'd be very happy to do so, but I will need your help.  All
information you can give me will help.  I try to fix any bug that
anyone reports to me.

Send your data.xml file to jonabbey@arlut.utexas.edu and let me see
what happens when I run it here.

One thing you might try doing, if you feel up to it.  When you unpack
the ganymede-1.0.10.tar.gz archive and after you have run configure,
type the following commands:

cd src
make
make jars

this should rebuild the Ganymede server and clients from scratch on
your FreeBSD system, and will compile everything using the version of
the JDK you have installed.  If there are any incompatibilities that
have arisen between the version of the JDK I used to compile the
Ganymede distribution and the version of the JDK you are using to run
everything, this might help.

Good luck,
