HornetQ in Ubuntu Server 12.04 through VirtualBox

[fran_jo]

Hello everyone!

I am working in Windows XP and I have recently set up a Ubuntu Server 12.04 as a guest, using Virtual Box. I want to set up HornetQ (version 2.2.14) to be accessed from the host (WinXP).

I want to run the HornetQ server as a stand-alone server, so I add the following configuration to the hornetq-configuration.xml:

<connectors>
      ...
        <connector name="remote-netty">
         <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory</factory-class>
         <param key="host" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.host:10.0.2.15}"/>
         <param key="port" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5005}"/>
        </connector>
   </connectors>
  
   <acceptors>
      ...  
        <acceptor name="remote-netty">
         <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory</factory-class>
         <param key="host" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.host:10.0.2.15}"/>
         <param key="port" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5005}"/>
        </acceptor>
   </acceptors>

(see that the 10.0.2.15 is the IP address of the eth0 from Ubuntu Server)

and to the hornetq-jms.xml:

   <connection-factory name="NettyConnectionFactory">
      <xa>false</xa>
      <connectors>
         <connector-ref connector-name="remote-netty"/>
      </connectors>
      <entries>
         <entry name="/RTConnectionFactory"/>
      </entries>
   </connection-factory>

I also create a VirtualBox port, using a NAT adapter that points to this configuration, something like this:

Port Name	Protocol	Host IP	Port	Guest IP	Port
hornetq	tcp	myIP	5005	10.0.2.15	5005

With this configuration, I try to execute the Queue example but

            // Step 1. Create an initial context to perform the JNDI lookup.
            Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
            env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://myIP:5005");
            env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
            env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces  ");
            initialContext = new InitialContext(env);


            // Step 2. Perfom a lookup on the queue
            Queue queue = (Queue)initialContext.lookup("/queue/OrderQueue");


            // Step 3. Perform a lookup on the Connection Factory
            ConnectionFactory cf = 
                    (ConnectionFactory)initialContext.lookup("/RTConnectionFactory");

But I get communication error like this:

javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: myIP:5005

Does any one experience this problem? Or do you have any idea about what could be wrong?

Greetings!

5005 is not your jndi listening port. You need use your real jndi port (default 1099) in your context property

evn.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://myIP:<JNDI LISTENING PORT>

Ok,

So, I have checked out the hornetq-beans.xml file and edit this config file like this:

   <!-- JNDI server. Disable this if you don't want JNDI -->
   <bean name="JNDIServer" class="org.jnp.server.Main">
      <property name="namingInfo">
         <inject bean="Naming"/>
      </property>
      <property name="port">${jnp.port:5004}</property>
      <property name="bindAddress">${jnp.host:10.0.2.15}</property>
      <!--
      <property name="port">${jnp.port:1099}</property>
      <property name="bindAddress">${jnp.host:localhost}</property>
      -->
      <property name="rmiPort">${jnp.rmiPort:1098}</property>
      <property name="rmiBindAddress">${jnp.host:localhost}</property>
   </bean>

and modify the virtual box routing table to modify the port to the new one: 5004

Now I get a different exception:

javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is:

Do I have to change anything in the hornetq-beans.xml?

Thanks!

[gaohoward]

I think you should change the rmi bind address too.

<property name="rmiBindAddress">${jnp.host:10.0.2.15}</property>

Ok,

It still does not work. I supose all the config files are setted up well. When I try to connect via the netty port, myIP:5005 I get this error in the hornetq:

* [hornetq-failure-check-thread] 25-Apr 14:54:29,643 WARNING [RemotingConnectionImpl]  Connection failure has been detected: Did not receive data from /10.0.2.2:1619. It is likely the client has exited or crashed without closing its connection, or the network between the server and client has failed. You also might have configured connection-ttl and client-failure-check-period incorrectly. Please check user manual for more information. The connection will now be closed. [code=3]

so I guess it may be a problem with connectin to the server via VirtualBox.

I will keep on investigating.

Thanks!
