JMS example works on localhost, fails between two different

[guycole]

Hello. I have a small example application which writes a text message to a queue. Works great when JBoss and application are working through localhost, fails when application and JBoss reside on different machines.

I do have JBoss RMI clients working in the same scenario, I know enough to provide the IP address of JNDI host when creating InitialContext.

Environment is JBoss 4.0.2 and JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5. Hosts have been Solaris 2.6 and RedHat 9.


The error is:
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.CommunicationException. Root exception is java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table


But I can see my queue using the JMX console and it does work when both halves are on the same machine.

I can also telnet to JBoss on port 1099 and get the usual "java.rmi.MarshalledObject" response, so I know the problem is not IP chains or other network filters.

Thanks for any guidance.

are you using the following or its equivalent?

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfacesNamingContextFactory");
p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming:org.jnpinterfaces");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");

make sure you also have the required client jars.

The answer turns out to be a RedHat environment variable. You need to set something like this or JNDI will not respond to remote requests.


JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.26.123.93
