Yep, completely understand and agree that you don't want to add configs to your EARs' assembly. Not to mention that you're now hardcoding the address of your server into your deployable units, killing portability. :) See, the RMI server is binding correctly, I'm assuming. I think what's going on here is the InvokerLocator specifying a local address, which won't be obtained from remote clients. Try -b [externalAddress] ?
