Environnement : Solaris 2.5.1, HotJava 1.0 FCS
(on both Solaris and Intel - I also tried to run HotJava with JDK1.1.3 Run time)

We have an applet that uses RMI.
We create a RemoteObject on the applet side and call UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject() to allow event callbacks.

An exception is raised while loading the skeleton file :
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/dt/appconfig/hotjava/classes/COM/Sun/sunsoft/ldaps/sims/client/LDAEventHandler_Skel.class
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java)

The class should be loaded from the http server and not from the java runtime classpath.

This was working with jdk1.1.1

We have a simple example that recreate the problem.
