OpenJMS problems in Jahia cluster

Hi folks,

I am setting up a Jahia cluster according to the instructions in the Jahia Clustering HOWTO (v2).

If I set up my two Jahia instances to use RMI to connect to OpenJMS (running on a third server) all is well - except that I cannot then firewall the machines properly because of the anonymous ports used (cf. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9099205).

So I switched across to the TCP connector following the instructions on openjms.sourceforge.net for the setup of OpenJMS. For Jahia I presume this means just changing the line:

org.jahia.cache.jmsCacheContextProviderURL              =   rmi\://blah.com.au\:1099/

to read:

org.jahia.cache.jmsCacheContextProviderURL              =   tcp\://blah.com.au\:3030/

And also opening up the appropriate ports: 3030 and 3035.

But this doesn't work and I get the following error in catalina.out:

1315607 [JMS Reconnection]  WARN - org.jahia.services.cache.JMSConnectionException: JMS Connection error, Could not get the InitialContext [org.exolab.jms.jndi.InitialContextFactory] on provider [tcp://blah.com.au:3030/]., root cause:Operation getNameParser failed: java.io.EOFException root cause=javax.naming.NamingException: Operation getNameParser failed: java.io.EOFException

I have flushed my iptables so I know it is not a firewall problem.

Is there something else in jahia.properties that should be changed or is this an OpenJMS config error (in which case I'll happily take my query elsewhere: it's just the instructions for OpenJMS appear very complete and the configuration appears very simple).

Thanks in advance,

Chris
