Messaging bridge through firewall (remoting problem)

uiterlix Sep 15, 2009 10:30 AM

I'm trying to get a messaging bridge working through a firewall.

On server A in /server/default/jboss-messaging.sar I specified both a secondaryBindPort and secondaryConnectPort:

4460
4461

In the firewall I have the ports 1098, 1099, 4457, 4460, 4461 opened up.

When I try to start server B that is actually creating the bridge to server A I get a SocketException: Connection Refused when it attempts to connect to the secondaryConnectPort of server A (4461).

When I take a look at the ports that are actually bound on server A, all mentioned ports except 4461 are listed.

Both servers are running JBoss-4.2.3.GA with messaging 1.4.4.GA and remoting 2.2.3.

Am I overlooking something ?

Did your bridge work if the firewall is disabled?
Do you bridge message from A to B or B to A?

I just figured it out. Since there is a firewall, but there's no NAT router, commenting the secondaryConnectPort did the trick.
