RMI error : java.net.ConnectException

[jgershater]

We are porting a legacy system from JBoss 3.2 to 5.1 and are running into an issue. When the client tries to make an RMI call to the server we get an exception: javax.naming.CommunicationException : could not obtain connection. Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException. I did check the jboss-service.xml file in our ...conf directory - the entries for org.jboss.naming.NamingService (Port, RMIPort) look the same for the old system (which works) and the new one.

Any ideas?

thanks...

ServiceUnavailable may a SSL error (service is deployed you will see a SSL communication error in the server.log) or a deployment error of your application,  the service is not deployed in this case look whether the startup contains ERRORs or WARNINGS.

Fixed this by updating jboss-service.xml; making both the BindAddress and RMIBindAddress attributes empty.
