How can a .Net client know if there is any JBoss server avai

[viguera79]

Hello everybody,
I am not sure if this is the right place for this question.
I have a .Net client that calls to EJBs deployed in a JBoss4.0.5GA server via iiop.
Now, the client has to know the server ip address server for looking for the EJBs.
Are there any way to find all available JBoss servers from .Net client? With a UDP multicast call, for example.
Thanks in advance
Javier

Hello Javier,

I can only speak about Remoting discovery mechanisms, but there is something that might work for you. Remoting has multicast and JNDI detectors that can inform a registered listener of known servers. See Sections "3.1. Discovery", "5.3. Discovery (Detectors)" and "10.4. Discovery and invocation" of the Remoting Guide (http://labs.jboss.com/jbossremoting/docs/guide/index.html) for more information.

You might also want to post a query on the "Installation, Configuration, and DEPLOYMENT forum (http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=61) to see if there are other non-Remoting mechanisms that would work for you.
