4.0.5 to 4.2.1 hostname problem with port 4446?

[fmorton]

Jboss 4.2.1 (do not see this problem with 4.0.5)
linux redhat enterprise/intel system
java 1.5.0_12

One instance of jboss inside firewall. IP address of system is 10.0.0.46. Valid external routeable address also
assigned to the server. Start system including options:

-Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=true -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=ACTUALHOSTNAMEHERE

Outside the firewall is another instance of jboss. Attach to inside system using:

java.naming.provider.url=ACTUALHOSTNAMEHERE:1099

Starting jboss using "-b 0.0.0.0".

However, with 4.2.1, the external server is unable to attach to the server inside the firewall.

Have seen this message from the external server:

org.jboss.remoting.CannotConnectException: Can not get connection to
server. Problem establishing socket connection for InvokerLocator
[socket://10.0.0.46:4446/?dataType=invocation&enableTcpNoDelay=true&
marshaller=org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationMarshaller&
socketTimeout=600000&unmarshaller=org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationUnMarshaller]

Note that it is referring to the non-routeable address of the internal server (10.0.0.46) rather than the valid external ip address.

So, I suspect there is some configuration file somewhere that determines where it grabs the hostname from,
though I'd like to also hear other comments.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

Hi, any progress?
Seems that i have similar problem - when connected to jboss box via vpn i can only access deployed apps specifying localhost in url. If external ip of the jboss box is used in url even from the box itself i'm getting connection refused. But i can still connect with remote debugger to the jboss jvm using external ip both from box and outside...

wbr, eugen.

ebu, did you read the readme.html file? Especially the first bullet under Configuration Issues for 4.2.0.

wbr, eugen.
