cxtinac Dec 11, 2001 8:33 AM (in response to quantic)Hi -- Did you ever get a reply to this post? This sounds rather like the problem we are having. (RH 7.1 static IP JBoss server, Win 98 DHCP client fails to connect with a Connection Refused error)...

bezdicek Dec 13, 2001 10:08 AM (in response to quantic)Hi,
you have to put the hostname in your hosts file something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 myServerName, anotherName
hope it helps (solved my problem :) )

I ran into a very similar problem. Did anyone figured it out?
Thanks,

4. Re: JNDI problem
adrian.brock Jan 11, 2002 8:20 AM (in response to quantic)Look at the previous post.
If you are not using a DNS you either need to
specify the IP address or put the host name in the
host table.

5. Re: JNDI problem
aepshteyn Jan 11, 2002 1:11 PM (in response to quantic)I do have an IP address and port specified for java.naming.provider.url in the jndi.properties, so it must be something else.
By the way, when I telnet to 1099 on the JBoss machine, i get back this:

Perhaps I am dreaming and guessing, but does the stub contain localhost reference (notice 127.0.0.1)
Any ideas?

6. Re: JNDI problem
adrian.brock Jan 11, 2002 2:48 PM (in response to quantic)On the client you should have something like
jnp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1099
See
http://www.jboss.org/online-manual/HTML/ch05s10.html
Don't set this property on the server!

8. Re: JNDI problem
adrian.brock Jan 11, 2002 7:19 PM (in response to quantic)There's something strange going on with your
rmi/hosts/ip configuration.
Even when I "telnet 127.0.0.1 1099" I see the remote
ip address. First time I ever tried that ;-)
I've searched the rmi faq, the rmi spec, google,
and a quick scan on the java developer connection.
I can't find anything similar, but that assumes
search engines work :-)
You could try adding -Djava.rmi.server.hostname to
in run.bat, this will force rmi to use host names
rather than ip addresses. But you will need a DNS
or configure the hosts names on each machine.
This is very strange, I've never seen it before.
I can tell you are running windows, but perhaps you
can give some other relevant configuration, e.g.
JBoss version, JDK version, what is the server
running, etc.

aepshteyn Jan 12, 2002 2:03 AM (in response to quantic)> There's something strange going on with your

Yep, problem solved, but first my configuration:
Client is on windows98, connecting to JBoss on Linux (RH 6.2), with hostname iliag, both machines with JBoss 3.0 alpha.
The problem was related to the /etc/hosts on linux machine, which looked like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost iliag
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx iliag
The first line resulted in 127.0.0.1 included in the reference to the Naming Service, which client had hard time using :-).
Looks like there are (at least) two ways to deal with the problem(tested both):
1) remove iliag from the first line of /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx iliag
In this case a correct address will be returned in the reference, as you can see in telnet to 1099, with real address changed to xxx for secrecy :-)

xxx.xxx.x.xxx?É:ëY¬Uõ€x UnicastRef2
2) As per Adrian's suggestion add in run.sh
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=iliag
In this case hostname is returned

and everything works just fine. I think this is the right way, and wonder why returning full domain name is not a default behaviour in RMI.
Looks like it is a default for codebase(http://iliag:8083) which is always returned as a name.
Adrian, thanks a lot for your help!
