Why is Java RMI server showing an error message when I try to run it? -

the following exception thrown after execution of program.

unresolved compilation problem: method bind(string, remote) in type registry not applicable arguments (string, employeermimain)

    public static void main(string args[]){         try {             employeeservice obj = new employeeservice();             registry r = locateregistry.createregistry(1234);             r.bind("remote", obj);         } catch (remoteexception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         } catch (alreadyboundexception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         }     } 

edit: user solved own problem. @kmuir practice post solution if found it.

what class interfaces of employeeservice class? sure implements remote marker interface?

public interface tunnelingmessagebox extends remote {   public void pushmessage(message message) throws remoteexception;   //..more interface methods }  public class tunnelingmessageboximpl implements tunnelingmessagebox {   public void pushmessage(message message) throws remoteexception {      // magic   } }  public class myservice {   private registry registry;   private int port;   public void createregistry(int port) throws remoteexception {         registry reg;         try {             reg = locateregistry.createregistry(port);         } catch (exportexception ex) {             // existing registry instance.             reg = locateregistry.getregistry(port);         }         this.port=port;         registry = reg;   }    public vooid closeregistry() {     try {       remote obj = (remote)registry.lookup("box1");       unicastremoteobject.unexportobject(obj, true);       registry.unbind("box1");     } catch(exception ex) { ex.printstacktrace(); }     registry=null;   }    public void registerservices() throws remoteexception {     tunnelingmessageboximpl mbox = new tunnelingmessageboximpl();     unicastremoteobject.exportobject(mbox, port);     registry.rebind("box1", mbox);   }  }
