D-Bus in Java problem

[Martin Homuth]

Thanks for your reply!

For some reason I did not define the interface class, a simple
CreateInterface on the .xml from the daemon (and some structural
adjustments) solved the problem  and it works flawlessly now.

FYI, there was no additional information in the error message, I
pasted the whole output.

Regards,
Martin
