java.rmi.ConnectException

[dboeckli]

Following Failes when Client and Server are different Domains:

 public IPmonHistorySupplier( String host, int port ) throws ServiceNotAvailableException {
 try {
 ServiceLocator serviceLocator = ServiceLocator.getInstance(host, port);

 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - getting home" );
 HistorySessionHome historyHome = ( HistorySessionHome )serviceLocator.getRemoteHome("HistorySession", HistorySessionHome.class);
 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - got home" );

 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - getting session" );
 historySession = historyHome.create();
 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - got session" );

 qcf = serviceLocator.getQueueConnectionFactory("ConnectionFactory");
 abortQueue = serviceLocator.getQueue("queue/IPmonGetHistoryAbortQueue");

 this.host = host;
 this.port = port;
 }
 /* Translate exceptions into ServiceNotAvailableException */
 catch (CreateException ex) {
 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - CreateException" );
 ex.printStackTrace();
 throw new ServiceNotAvailableException(ex);
 }
 catch (RemoteException ex) {
 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - RemoteException" );
 ex.printStackTrace();
 throw new ServiceNotAvailableException(ex);
 }
 catch (ServiceLocatorException ex) {
 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - ServiceLocatorException" );
 ex.printStackTrace();
 throw new ServiceNotAvailableException(ex);
 }
 catch (Exception ex) {
 System.out.println( new Date().toString() + " - Exception" );
 ex.printStackTrace();
 throw new ServiceNotAvailableException(ex);
 }
 }

the Home lookup works fine but the session request failes after exactly 3 min and 30 seconds. Strange is also that the home lookup needs 21 seconds.
Last Friday at 5 o'clock in the evening, when nearly everybody went home and the network had less traffic i was able to get a response from the session request.

forgot to say that when server and client are on different machines but in the same domain it works as well.

Hi,
have you got this error cleared, i am also having the same problem. If you have solution please help me.

Thanks,
Malert Jones

Yes -solved. it was a network problem - ports were blocked by firewalls. We have a huge network, so perhaps it took so long because the requests went up to timbuktu (where the forgot to close those ports) and back sometimes. Take a look in the wiki where it is explained which ports must be open and talk to your network admin.

Thank you for your reply, the problem is with the network now it has been corrected and working fine. Thank you very much.
