Jboss AS 6 hornetq timeout behind firewall

squidly Nov 9, 2011 5:43 PM

I've been stuck on this for a while and after looking through the docs, I have still had no luck so I hoping someone can point out what I am doing wrong.

I tried looking through the hornetq documentation examplesm, reading searching this boards but couldn't figure out why it wouldn't connect.

I'm trying to connect to a topic and message queue, behind a firewall on the Amazon AWS cloud. Using jboss6 and hornetq.

When I run the server bound to an vpn ip, it works fine:

16:10:37 org.jnp.interfaces.TimedSocketFactory DEBUG - createSocket, hostAddr: /<vpn-ip>, port: 1099, localAddr: null, localPort: 0, timeout: 0

When I am trying to go through a NAT firewall the connection fails

These are the steps I have taken:

I run the server with the following configuration, although I'm not sure if I should set useLocalHostname to false or true. I tried both and neithe worked.

run.sh -b <internal_ip> -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<public_ip> -Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=false

I set up acceptors and connectors for listening via tcp on the default port of 5445 specified by the hornetq-configuration.xml attached

I set up a NettyConnectionFactory pointing to the netty-tcp connector/acceptor pair I set up in the config.

Originally, what I though the relevant ports were based on the config and the details specified here http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingJBossBehindAFirewall

I put a jboss server on a the machine in a DMZ on a different network, in theory so none of the ports would be blocked and I could pull AWS out of the equation.

I also tried setting up an http connector/acceptor pair and switch the NettyConnectionFactory to point to netty-http instead of netty-tcp but got the following:

javax.jms.JMSException: Unable to connect to server using configuration org-hornetq-core-remoting-impl-netty-NettyConnectorFactory?port=8090&http-enabled=true
