Hanging while calling create()

[isekh]

facing a strange problem in jboss 3.0 using CMP. i have an entity bean called GroupBean, when i call groupHome.create(...), it is hanging for ever no response coming at both ends.
Any one explain me why this hanging problem is coming up?

If you go get a cup of coffee/ pint of beer (10-25 minutes), does it time out? If so, what it the message? Are you using JBoss 3.0.2? If not, upgrade.

If you can't make it go away, post a reproduceable test case in a bug report at sourceforge.

Im having the same problem. no exceptions are thrown. has anyone figured it out?

[aloubyansky]

what should I do to reproduce it?

[panda007]

heres what im doing.

public static Context getHTTPClientInitialContext()
throws javax.naming.NamingException {

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http://www.somesite.com:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory");
p.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory");
return new javax.naming.InitialContext(p);
}


try {
System.out.println("3");
Context ctx = EJBHelper.getHTTPClientInitialContext();
Object obj = ctx.lookup("ejb/RemoteHome");
System.out.println("4");
RemoteHome sHome =
(RemoteHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, RemoteHome.class);
System.out.println("5");

RemoteRemote remoteconv = sHome.create();<--freezes here
System.out.println("6");
} catch (catch exceptions) .........

The server is running behind a firewall. The firewall opens/forwards port 8080. Everything is logged up to "6" where it just drops/hangs. Nothing is thrown. no messages. nothing is logged in server.log. stack trace is empty.

Probably, the problem is with firewall.
If you specified 8080 in provider url it doesn't mean ejb calls will use this port. They will use port 4444 by default, AFAIK.
Consider using http-invoker instead of jrmp.

Could you point me in the direction of http-invoker information and how to use it. Thanks.

[panda007]

I thought i was using http-invoker. How do i implement http-invoker? can you point in the direction of some docs or examples. I had no idea i was using jrmp. thanks.

[panda007]
