EJB Remote Client Issues

[gboro54]

I have deployed a project strucutred as follows:

• service.ear
  • service-ejb.jar
    • RemoteEJB.class

I am trying to invoke this bean from another instance running on JBoss packaged as follows:

• client.ear
  • META-INF
    • jboss-ejb-client.xml
  • client.jar
    • client classes

When I try and invoke the bean I get the following excepction:

{code}

Am I missing something in the configuration?

Is that remote-ip:4447 up and running when you are deploying this application? We fixed an issue to just log a message and continue if the remote server is down, instead of throwing a deployment error. It's available in the latest nightly builds https://community.jboss.org/thread/167590

The server is running. I am checking now to ensure that the port is open between the boxes(this should be done but I will check to make sure).

Also try

telnet remote-ip 4447

from the server where you are deploying this application.

Ok. The port was blocked. Now I am getting authentication exceptions. Where do you put the credientials on the client?
