org,omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE on startup of J2EE RI

[Greg Rance]

I've installed J2SDK1_3_1_12 & J2SDKEE-1_3_1 (on Windows XP), and I'm getting the following error when attempting to start up the J2EE RI server for the first time (with the -verbose switch):

J2EE server listen port: 1050
Naming service started:1050

Error executing J2EE server ...


I've set up the following environment variables;

JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_12
J2EE_HOME=c:\j2sdkee1.3.1

I also have 'c:\jdk1.1.1_12\bin' & 'c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin' on the PATH variable.

Does anyone have any ideas on where I've gone wrong?

Thanks in advance!

My envirounment variables were set as per the bottom of the link (I assume you didn't mean the upper part, since I'm not getting to the stage of trying to run the client, and it's a COMM_FAILURE I'm getting rather than a BAD_OPERATION).

I've just double checked these settings but still no joy...

I have the same OS/j2ee version/path/home as you except JAVA_HOME = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04.."Maybe" you should use j2sdk instead of jdk.

(posting reply, although this topic is old, because other people might find this through google, as I did)

I had the same problem. With J2SE 1.3 I got minor code 1398079689. With J2SE 1.4 I got minor code 201.

After googling for an hour or so I found the following link: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=312342&messageID=1259558

And that suggests that the firewall is blocking something. When I turned off my firewall, that solved the problem. Try it!
