I wasn't sure which forum to submit this to, since it covers a variety of topics -- hibernate, JNDI, clustering, etc. So I'm picking this forum; if you can suggest a better one, I'll repost there.
Here's the situation. We've had a web app that's been running fine on JBoss 4.0.5.GA, as the server-side for a Flex app. I built an MDB, added it to the deploy dir, and it worked somewhat with our web app, but the MDB couldn't find the FlexSession stuff. So we thought we'd build an .ear, to include the .war of the web app and the .jar of the MDB.
The problem I'm getting on start-up is
...
17:59:02 INFO [org.hibernate.util.NamingHelper] JNDI InitialContext properties:{}
17:59:02 FATAL [org.hibernate.connection.DatasourceConnectionProvider] Could not find datasource: jdbc/PlanITDataSource
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to retrieve stub from server 192.168.1.18:1100 [Root exception is java.io.StreamCorruptedException: unexpected block data]
...
Now, I never had this problem before, so something is not configured right, I guess. That IP address belongs to my colleague, who is running a clustered JBoss setup; I'm running non-clustered. He's also running Linux, whereas I'm running Windows XP Pro. He was able to get the app up and running, after wading through some configuration issues. We're on the same LAN, as are several other developers, who are only using the .war, not the .ear or .jar (MDB), and they don't experience any errors.
Can you please tell me what's wrong with our set-up? Is there a way to make sure the clustered JBoss installation doesn't interfere with the non-clustered ones? I'm hoping that will solve my issue. Or maybe there's another solution.
Thanks
Pauly T.
