I am guessing that port 1099 is still being used (it is hard to tell because you did not use the 'code' tag to format your xml text, and you did not first preview your response before posting it). Your next task, then, is to find out of port 1099 is really open and if it is being blocked by a firewall. I would know where to tell you to look on Linux, but not on HPUX. See http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9999 for some things to do to try to resolve the problem. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4181570#...
