JNDI Connection refused

[Pieter-Jan Malfait]

i'm trying to look up a helloworld test statemess session bean from a remote jboss server
when i telnet to port 1099 on the jboss server i can connect but when i try to lookup the jndi namen in my client with :

Context context = new InitialContext();
HelloWorld helloWorld = (HelloWorld)context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/HelloWorld");

i get a connection refused error


Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect]
at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:707)
at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:572)


can anyone help me with this problem ? i would be very grateful

Is the value of java.naming.provider.url proper.
Example:

java.naming.provider.url=jnp://remoteHostMachineName:1099

where remoteHostMachineName is the name(or IP address) of the remote machine on which the bean is deployed

this is my jndi.properties
i added the jnp:// as it wasn't there before, but it still doesn't work , i get the same connection refused error

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming rg.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://remoteMachine:1099

when i use a non-existing host it give another exception saying it can't get a connection to any of the given urls (as they are non-existing), just did this to make sure java uses the correct jndi.properties an it finds my remote server

it works now
apparently port 1098 was blocked by the jboss server and needed for rmi, the admin fixed it for me
