jdk1.4 + jboss4.0.1, RMI not working

[berkgypsy]

I am in the process of upgrading from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1. I'm using jdk1.4.2_03 and it looks like in jboss4.0.1, RMI calls are failing (Receive timed out). I read that the RMI code was upgraded in jboss4.0.1 to work with java 1.5. Does this mean it is not backwards compatible?

I just tried upgrading to jdk1.5, and I am still seeing the RMI problem in jboss4.0.1, so there must be something that changed about how to use RMI with jboss4.0.1. I don't see anything yet in the documentation. Is there anything obvious someone could help me with?

Here's what I'm trying to do

 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.put(
 "java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
 "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

 String namingProvider ="jnp://" + hostname + ":" + port;

 props.put("java.naming.provider.url", namingProvider);
 props.put(
 "java.naming.factory.initial",
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");

 InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext(props);
 Object ref = initialContext.lookup("jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor");
 if( log.isDebugEnabled() )
 {
 log.debug( "looking up RMIAdaptor on " + hostname );
 }
 return (RMIAdaptor) ref;

This WAS working in jboss4.0.0...please help!

ah HA. Looks like it's only failing for "localhost" lookups. If I catch localhost lookups and replace them with their actual names with InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() everything works. This seems like a bug?

What does netstat -an | grep 1099 show for 4.0.0 and 4.0.1? It seems that its jndi is not bound to the localhost or all interfaces.
