yes, this is the case under the producer:

PrimeJob job = new PrimeJob(nextNumberToCalculate);

This is a very big surprise for me, I thought that codebase setting is just
like a "classpath setting". I've learnead about RMIClassloader annotation,
but I 've never considered this aspect.

The purpose of my study: I'm trying to see if is possibile to use
RMI/Jini/Javaspaces code downloading feature to develop applications in with
some classes are deployed in a repository, in particular with inheritance
relations between remote classes. I've considered JavaSpaces, because I've
found it a little higher level than pure RMI. So, I've started to study the
possibility to having JavaSpaces entry classes in a remote repository, used
by applications that use the space.

Can you indicate me a way how I can modify the producer code to have the
right behaviour?

Thanks for the explanation, Andrea
