Cannot remotely find JNDI resources using InitialContext

Charles Lee

I've got 2 laptops here, running next to eachother, connected to the same network switch. One is running an almost default instance of glassfish 3x, the other is running a client OUTSIDE of the container comprised of only a few lines of code to get a connectionFactory from the Glassfish server.
Running both on the same machine works like a charm, but when ran on different machines it refuses to connect, and my head-ache is now getting worse by the minute...

Server side:
============
Running inside Netbeans IDE 7.2

GlassFish Server version: 3+
JMS Service Type: LOCAL (instead of EMBEDDED)
Created javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory named "TapServiceConnectionFactory" under JMS Resources.

Glassfish configuration is otherwise untouched (I've fooled around lots, so created a clean glassfish instance for this example):

This is what happens if my glassfish server is running and the client is started:

=============

Also not very sure which port to use, 3700 (JMS) or 7676 (IIOPS), however, I've tried both, but both fail.
I'm out of ideas

Other way round. 3700 is for IIOP, 7676 is for JMS. Note that you're not using JMS at this point, just JNDI, so you don't want 7676.

The Oracle GlassFish Server documentation for what you are trying to do is here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26576_01/doc.312/e24930/java-clients.htm#gkuqa

If you have problems, ask in the GlassFish forum at
http://www.java.net/forums/glassfish/glassfish

(since this isn't a JMS issue, it's a GlassFish JNDI issue)

Thanx for your reply Nigel.
It has been a true bitch to get to work, but using:

        
properties.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "<IP>");
properties.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700");

... instead of Context.PROVIDER_URL seemed to have done the trick eventually.
