OpenJms Configuration file question

Hi 

 

I am using OpenJms 0.7.4.  I have a client-server Java application, and
I am using OpenJms as the communication channel between them.  My client
application can be run anywhere in the network. And, I start OpenJms
server in the same VM of my Server application.  

 

 Here is what I use for OpenJms configuration.  

 

<Configuration>

       <!-- Optional. This represents the default configuration  -->

       <ServerConfiguration host="localhost" embeddedJNDI="true"/>

 

       <!-- Connector is TCP -->

       <Connectors>

             <Connector scheme="tcp">

                    <ConnectionFactories>

                           <QueueConnectionFactory
name="JmsQueueConnectionFactory"/>

                           <TopicConnectionFactory
name="JmsTopicConnectionFactory"/>

                    </ConnectionFactories>

             </Connector>

       </Connectors>

 

 

I found that if I used "localhost" as host inside the
ServerConfiguration tag to start my Server.  My client application that
is running on the different host won't be able to connect to the JNDI
service to look up the connection factory.  If I change "localhost" to
the IP address of the host where my server is running and restarts my
Server.  My client application has no problem to connection to JNDI
service and doing JNDI lookup.   

 

I believe this is a bug.  What I believe is that "localhost" is recorded
in the naming service when the OpenJms server is started.  When the
other application tries to create initialContext and doing JNDI lookup,
"localhost" is returned as the host name from the naming service.  When
the client try to connection to remote JNDI service using "localhost" as
host address, of course it won't work.

 

Is my assumption correct?  If this is a bug, are we planning to fix it
in the future release?

 

 

Thanks,
