    Connecting to an EJb on a remote server

    mip

      I am trying to connect my GUi application to an EJB but I am encountering thr following exception:

      javax.naming.CommunicationException. Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is:
       java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
      


      I have no idea where the 127.0.0.1 is coming from here.

      Any suggestions where I am going wrong?

          It looks like your remote machine might be running Linux?

          If so the /etc/hosts probably needs updating to contain the IP address of the machine.

            Going from

            127.0.0.1 myserver localhost.localdomain localhost
            X.X.X.X myserver
            


            to

            127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
            X.X.X.X myserver
            


            Seems to have sortyed the problem.

            Cheers.

              Found this a javalobby.

              Hmmm, I'm fooling myself here. That didn't do the trick. But THIS did:

              In the /etc/hosts of the server machine, there was a mapping:
              127.0.0.1 localhost server.host.name

              As Jboss startet, it resolved server.host.name to 127.0.0.1. I put server.host.name in a DNS instead, where it should be. Alternatively you could write:

              127.0.0.1 localhost server.host.name
              1.2.3.4 server.host.name

              Then I had problem to get the client run both inside och outside of my NAT firewall. This because the RMI-stub sent by Jboss contained the local IP-address of server.host.name.

              By adding the JAVA_OPTS

              -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=server.host.name

              to the Jboss startup script run.sh, this was fixed as well. Now the RMI-stub delivered by jboss stated "server.host.name" and not an resolved IP address.
