Cannot connect to remote Service Error when using RemoteApplication Library (Swing)

[Faik Faisal]

I am getting below error when I am trying to connect to my application using  Start Application keyword from RemoteApplication Library

RemoteConnectFailureException: Could not connect to remote service [rmi://localhost:63407/robotrmiservice]; nested exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 142.63.201.108; nested exception is: 

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I have followed the RemoteApplication document completely but still getting error. 

Please help.

Unfortunately my knowledge of RemoteApplications is too limited to be
able to really help with it. RemoteApplications is probably
technically most complex corner of Robot Framework ecosystem. Part of
the reason is that the domain is complex, but unfortunately
RemoteApplications itself is also unnecessarily complicated. To make
things worse, that stuff seems to be affected also by Java versions
and operating systems. I hope RemoteApplications could be replaced
with a more robust solution some day, but unfortunately I cannot make
any promises related to it.

Hello Peke,

Thank you for your reply.

Is there any other library which I can use to test the swing component of webstart application. I have tried using Swinglibrary's keyword Start Application In Separate Thread, The application got launched but I was unable to select the main window. I included jvmconnector in JAVA_OPTION_TOOLS as well. 

Really appreciate your help.
