Hi Sowmya, The problem at at org.jboss.remoting.ident.Identity.get(Identity.java:211) occurs during a call to InetAddress.getLocalHost(). In the past I have seen cases where this somewhat mystifying problem is associated with problems in the /etc/hosts file. Could you look into that? By the way, I've created JBREM-1104 "Identity.get() should create a more meaningful RuntimeException message" to remind me to make the problem somewhat less mystifying. -Ron View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4213981#...
