IP binding problem

[yongheo]

Hi, I have a problem with binding data source.
Can anyone help me?

I have a web application which runs on JBoss with postgresql database server.
It works fine when I run the JBoss with localhost.
Then, I started jboss application server with IP binding option.
run.sh -b 128.173.23.123
And when it try to connect to database, it gave me below errors.

Unable to locate data source; Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out]

I don't see above problem when I start JBoss without IP binding option.
Does anyone know why? And how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Post the entire exception stacktrace. When does this exception occur? Does it happen when you are doing a lookup of the datasource and trying to obtain a connection from it? If yes, then have you specified the PROVIDER_URL as 128.173.23.123 to the InitialContext (since the services are longer binded to localhost):

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://128.173.23.123:1099");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
ctx.lookup("blahblahblah");
