Communication between JBoss 5.1.0 GA and JBoss AS 7.1.1

[phobo]

In my case I have an application deployed in JBoss 5.1.0 that needs to communicate with another application deployed in JBoss AS 7.1.1. Is there an option for such communication using JBoss Remoting? I'm getting an exception like this:

javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: org.xnio.XnioProvider: Provider org.xnio.nio.NioXnioProvider could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.xnio.nio.NioXnioProvider
at java.util.ServiceLoader.fail(ServiceLoader.java:207)

I have tried to add jboss-client.jar (from JBoss 7) to directory JBoss/lib in JBoss 5, and then the exception was:

javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: org.xnio.XnioProvider: Provider org.xnio.nio.NioXnioProvider could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.tracef(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V
 at java.util.ServiceLoader.fail(ServiceLoader.java:207)

as I understand there is different api for logging in each JBoss versions.

Hi Janusz,

Remoting 2 and Remoting 3 are based on two different models, OIO (Old I/0) and NIO, respectively, so they're not going to talk to each other.  Someone more familiar with Remoting 3 or AS7 might be able to address the possibility of workarounds (if any).

You'll need to provide AS7 client libraries for your AS 5.1 setup. Check out this thread and this blog post for more info.
