Im using remoting 2.5.0SP2. Having trouble running the serialization sample outside of the distribution sample tree. Im pretty sure its just a missing jar since the code is unmodified but since I have the serialization jar included i'm not sure what i'm missing. Its not in the documentation that comes with the code. Any help would be appreciated and if there is a manual i should be reading instead of asking dumb questions a RTFM with a link would be equally appreciated. ----- snippet ----- Calling remoting server with locator uri of: socket://localhost:5400/?serializationtype=jboss Invoking server with request of 'NonSerializablePayload - name: foo, id: 1' org.jboss.remoting.CannotConnectException: Can not get connection to server.
