Connection Refused on EAR Deployment

[aminlalji]

Hi,

I had coded my EJB's, packaged and deployed them last night... everything worked!...today when I startup JBOSS 3.2.3 i get the following on deployment (I have tried to recompile and redeploy, same results)
:

Init J2EE application: file:/C:/DEV/jboss-3.2.3/server/default/deploy/UserApp.ear

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Stupid spelling mistake in application.xml...

<!DOCTYPE applciation PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">

should be application.... redeployed and all is well... now can someone explain WHY this caused the connection timeout?

Is the system really hitting java.sun.com??

Thanks

No, there's a local resolver for the DTDs.

Hi Juha,

I have the same problem. I work within my proxy the firewall stopping my jboss application to look for the external dtd.

You mentioned about the ability to perform the local lookup. Do you know how to set up jboss to look for the local dtd.

Thank you heap in advanced.
