Runtime Exception while instantiating Server class for rmiregistry

Question

I tried the same program on my Ubuntu VM and the program even yielded the correct output but on Windows its giving a weird runtime exception:

e:\java\rmi final>javac *.java
e:\java\rmi final>rmic ServerImplement
e:\java\rmi final>rmiregistry 20361  
<< BLANK , fine >>
e:\java\rmi final>java ServerMain 20361  
java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread;   
nested exception is:     
     java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments;   
nested exception is:

Here is my ServerMain class:

import java.io.*;
import java.rmi.*;

class ServerMain
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
   try {
        Naming.rebind("//localhost:"+args[0]+"/TestClass",new ServerImplement());
        System.out.println("TestClass is uploaded on the server. on port "+args[0]);

    }  
   catch(Exception e)
   {
       //System.out.println("FAILED. ERROR: ");
        e.printStackTrace();
   } 
 }
}

On Ubuntu:

machine@ubuntu:~/rmi final$java ServerMain 20361
TestClass is uploaded on the server. on port 20361

You forgot to specify -cp switch. JVM really does not know where your stubs are.
