Hi, I've a problem reaching JDNI from a remote, standalone client. The lookup is done by the following code: Properties props = new Properties(); | props.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://server:1099"); | props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming"); | props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); | InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props); | result = ctx.lookup(path); It runs perfect on the host "server". But when I run it on a different host, I get an exception: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is: | java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused] | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:780) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:627) | at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) | at mdb.test.client.Lookup.lookup(Lookup.java:49) | at mdb.test.client.jms_client.main(jms_client.java:23) | Caused by: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is: | java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused | at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPEndpoint.newSocket(TCPEndpoint.java:574) | at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.createConnection(TCPChannel.java:185) | at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.newConnection(TCPChannel.java:171) | at sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef.invoke(UnicastRef.java:94) | at org.jnp.server.NamingServer_Stub.lookup(Unknown Source) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:667) | ... 4 more What surprises me is, that the client seems to try to connect to localhost, even though the provider URL points to a different host. There are no firewalls between the two maschines. JBoss (4.2.2GA) is listening on the respective IP/port on the server, I can reach it with telnet. If I shutdown JBoss, I get a different error message. Therefore I assume, that the client is connecting to the server.
