    jboss tomcat on separate servers

    kristofvcl

      We have applications running on a jboss and tomcat on the same machine.
      Now we want to run them on separate servers.
      I tried changing the localhost in the properties to the other machine like this
      // Get a naming context
      Properties prop = new Properties();
      prop.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      prop.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url","otherserver:1099");
      prop.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
      InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(prop);

      // Get a reference to the Gebruiker Bean
      Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("ejb/Session");

      but I get the following error

      Naming Exception caught: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to h
      ost: localhost; nested exception is:
      java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]
      Naming Exception caught: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to h
      ost: localhost; nested exception is:
      java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]
      Naming Exception caught: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to h
      ost: localhost; nested exception is:
      java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]


      WHY IS IT TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE LOCALHOST AND NOT TO THE OTHERSERVER IF I DIDN'T PLACE IT IN THE PROPERTIES?

      I think I missed something in one of the config files.

      Is there somewhere some documentation on this issue?
      We have the documentation subscription, but I couldn't find the documentation for this issue there (or I missed it).

      Regards

          Look at /etc/hosts on the JBoss server.
          There is an answer to this problem in the FAQ forum.

          The cause is X/Windows doesn't optimise local traffic
          so Redhat changed the host config to trick it into
          using loopback and this confuses RMI.
