jndi.properties and RMI

[jagdeep]

Hi All, I have two applications in JBoss app1 and app2 inside two configuration folders of the same name.
They have code to communicate using RMI (app1=server app2=client). When I use try to define custom ports using the jndi.properties file, I get connection refused eeception for both. When I don't the client - server communicate nicely using the default settings.
My question was, what am I missing? do I need to define the jndiport somewhere other than jndi.properties too? What other properties can I define in this file. Right now, one of the props file looks like this:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp\://localhost\:2999

How have you ensured that the app1 and app2 servers use their own ports? Have you used the Service Bindind Manager http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossas/freezone/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/beta422/html/Additional_Services-Services_Binding_Management.html

yes, I have. I am using the default for app1 and 'port-01' for app 2, so the default ports are 1099 and 1199.

So finally what I did was, since I wanted custom ports, I changed these to the custom ports (in jboss-service.xml for app1 and my-bindings.xml for app2 ) and now thigns appear to be working.

But best practise wise, where should one define these ports? in the jboss-service.xml, custom-bindings.xml or jndi.properties?

Thanks,
