Problem in ConnectionFactory lookup at Remote Jboss behind f

[soniasahni]

Hi,

My requirement is to send JMS messages from one Jboss setup to another remote setup. We are on Jboss 2.4.4. Its the same application deployed at both the places.

Let me call the application sending the message as client.

At client, I use JNDI lookup to get TopicConnectionFactory of the remote application and then send the jms message. Now this works find as long as the remote jboss/application is not behind the firewall. I have tried every setting at the firewall to let it receive connection requests/give access to JNDI. All ports are open. Still this is what I get at client:

createJMSConnection() : EXCEPTION :javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectE
xception: Connection refused to host: ; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out: connect]
[Publisher]: createJMSConnection() : EXCEPTION MESSAGE:null

Also, at client we provide jndi name as jnp://:1099/ConnectionFactory

And the remote jboss/application runs on a local ip behind the firewall


I would appreciate any clue possible

Thanks in advance

Sonia

jnp://:1099/ConnectionFactory

looks wrong. Put in the IP address before the :1099 . Also, make sure you can telnet to that host/port.

Sorry, the IP address was there, mistyped it in the post. Yes, could telnet to host/port

Essentially there are three ports are to be visible across the firewall. (Without JMS in the picture).

1. rmi object port
2. rmi port
3. naming port

Depending on the Invocation Layer you use, you might also require to open a port for JMS.

4. UIL2 server bind port.

Look at the following link:
