I have been trying to run my RMI/IIOP client in Jdev 10135, and I kept on getting the following stack error:

After reviewing the documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14101_01/doc.1013/e13975/rmi.htm#CHDBDEII I had no inside why this error was occurring or if there was any misconfiguration on my client. Evenually I found the the following documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14101_01/doc.1013/e13977/csiv2.htm#i1014488 which states:

Any client, whether running inside a server or not, has EJB security properties. Table 19-2 following lists the EJB client security properties controlled by the ejb_sec.properties file. By default, OC4J searches for this file in the current directory when running as a client, or in ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config when running in the server. You can specify the location of this file explicitly with the system property setting -Dejb_sec_properties_location=pathname.

I then created the ejb_sec.properties file with the following settings:

oc4j.iiop.trustedServers=*
client.sendpassword=true
nameservice.useSSL=false

Then I ran the client (as described by passing the file as system property) and it worked!
