Remote and Local JMS Client Access

[mr_alabama]

I have encountered a problem with our JBoss deployment (v 4.2.3) with JBossMQ. I can successfully configure the server to start and and accept connections from local or remote clients but NOT both.

[1] The following startup script works fine for remote clients:

$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0 -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=10.0.0.100 -Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=false

Remote clients can connect with the following JNDI properties:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jboss.naming.client:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://10.0.0.100:1099

[2] Starting the service this way works fine for local clients:

$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0 -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1 -Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=false

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jboss.naming.client:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://127.0.0.1:1099

I can't understand why option [1] doesn't work for local clients too.

I'm betting the answer is blindingly obvious to someone.

Thanks.

Why are you setting jboss.bind.address and java.rmi.server.hostname instead of passing "-b 0.0.0.0" which should set both?

As long as you set java.rmi.server.hostname to something other than 0.0.0.0, RMI connections will be accepted only on the IP address specified (that is, if you say 127.0.0.1, then only localhost can connect, etc.)
