JNDI Properties

[Stedo]

hi,

I'm running a JBoss application server where I deploy a session bean on the server. I try to connect locally (server running on localhost) using a stand-alone client and everything works fine.

Then I moved the server to a remote machine and deployed the same ear file. I changed the host in the jndi.properties file for the client and I receive the following exception:

I am fairly new to J2EE and I'm probably missing something here, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Somewhere you are telling JNDI to use a localhost (127.0.0.1) entry to connect to - or you are not specifying a remote host.

hi,

Solved the problem. The problem was not on the client side, it was on the server side. The setting for the RMI host was set to localhost, so of course when JBoss send the RMI server address to the client it is set to localhost. Therefore the client was looking at localhost for the RMI server instead of the remote host. Ajusted the configuration for running JBoss and it worked like a dream.

Cheers
