    Binding Twiddle only with localhost

    sramhu Jul 4, 2009 7:30 AM

      Hi All

      We are in need to bind the twiddle locally. By which we will be able to invoke it only in the local machine and the remote access thro twiddle will be blocked.

      I googled and got the below link to do wat i needed

      see "*Binding the JMX invoker to localhost - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:* " in

      http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-5477

      When i tried the above mentioned steps and started the server, i get this deployment exception.

      --- MBeans waiting for other MBeans ---

      Twiddle was not working from both local and remote
      Only after reverting we the changes, twiddle was accessible form both local and remote. Need an aaproach so the twiddle is alllowed only when it is invoked from local machine.

          Contents of http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-5477

           It is recommended that the jmx-invoker be bound specifically to localhost only. Do it as follows:

 In server/<configuration>/conf/jboss-service.xml, look for RMI/JRMP invoker section and update ServerAddress to be localhost. The section should then look something like:

 <!-- RMI/JRMP invoker -->
 <mbean code="org.jboss.invocation.jrmp.server.JRMPInvoker"
 name="jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp">
 <attribute name="RMIObjectPort">4444</attribute>
 <attribute name="ServerAddress">localhost</attribute>
 ....



In server/<configuration>/deploy/jmx-invoker-service.xml Add the following lines inside the <server> section:

 <!-- A pooled invoker bound to localhost -->
 <mbean code="org.jboss.invocation.pooled.server.PooledInvoker"
 name="jboss:service=invoker,type=pooled,host=localhost">
 <attribute name="NumAcceptThreads">1</attribute>
 <attribute name="MaxPoolSize">300</attribute>
 <attribute name="ClientMaxPoolSize">300</attribute>
 <attribute name="SocketTimeout">60000</attribute>
 <attribute name="ServerBindAddress">localhost</attribute>
 <attribute name="ServerBindPort">4443</attribute>
 <attribute
 name="ClientConnectAddress">localhost</attribute>
 <attribute name="ClientConnectPort">0</attribute>
 <attribute name="ClientRetryCount">1</attribute>
 <attribute name="EnableTcpNoDelay">false</attribute>
 <depends
 optional-attribute-name="TransactionManagerService">jboss:service=TransactionManager</depends>


And in the '<mbean code="org.jboss.invocation.jrmp.server.JRMPProxyFactory"' section, change the <depends> element with optional-attribute-name="InvokerName" to "jboss:service=invoker,type=pooled,host=localhost" so that it looks like:

<depends optional-attribute-name="InvokerName">jboss:service=invoker,type=pooled,host=localhost</depends>

            In server/configuration/deploy/jmx-invoker-service.xml, add a closing

            </mbean>
            tag to the end of the definition for the pooled invoker bound to localhost.

            This worked for me on JBoss 4.2.2, but not JBoss AS 5.x.
