Now, with all the pieces constructed, we can run the example.

It's not as straightforward as running a regular Java program!  Here's what we have to do:

1. Start the RMI registry by running the rmiregistry utility.
2. Start the Hello Server:

   On Windows:        start java rmiServer.HelloServer

   On Unix/Linux:        java rmiServer.HelloServer &

   If all goes well, the server should output:

   Server ready...

3. Run  the Hello client:

   java rmiClient.HelloClient

   If all goes well, the client should output:

   Response: Hello, RMI world!

Note: The order in which we perform these steps is important!
