*VERY* strange EJB client problem !!!

[cezz]

Hi ! I have an application which uses an EJB. Now, the strange situation is : when I connect to EJB from a remote computer on my LAN everything goes well. BUT when I connect to EJB (on a server in internet) from client I got the message :

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

What's happening ? The server is running on port 1099 (I tested with a simple telnet). Why when connects from remote computers in a local network everything goes well, but when connects from a remote computer over the internet ,i got that message ?

Please, is a very urgent thing. Can you help me ?

Best,
Cezar

That message indicates that you are trying to connect to your local system, NOT to a computer over the internet. 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Check jndi.properties.

I know that, but I set the context in the client application like that :
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "212.387.2.2:1099");

Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
FirstHome home = (FirstHome)ctx.lookup("ejb/First");

So you see i'm not tryin' to connect to my localhost.
Please can you help ? thx

I solved this problem !

i modified jboss.properties and i set the property :
java.rmi.server.hostname=ip-of-the-server

and now works perfectly

Thanks for posting the solution when you found it. :)

It's really annoying to be searching the forums for a solution, but only finding the question with a "oh, I fixed it" message.

If everyone did this there would be much less repeated posting of questions.
