Looking at where the java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException is being thrown, it may indicate a WeakReference was cleared when the application didn't expect that to happen. It's possible there is a bug in reference processing, but I think it's more likely either the test or the RMI infrastructure isn't properly ensuring the liveness of the referent, allowing it to be reclaimed by GC at a point where that isn't expected.
