RE: rmi port and firewall problems-- proposed solution still not working

Tim,
Thank you for the new configuration. This seems llike a good solution,
and external ip and
internal ip.  But, I tried this, and still 
"host refused" from sender

If I place the receiver machine, outside of a firewall, at
ip=216.195.1.39
and sender is on same cpu at Ip= 216.195.1.39.  
then sender and receiver code work as expected.
ip=localhost will work as well (as expected).  I have not been able to
test when sender is a distinct public IP, becasue
I need access to one, furthermore my webserver requires firewall
configuration in order to work, which is how another
sender ( /= 216.195.1.39) 
can access sender code (via java webstart).

So, what are my options? Run jms outside a firewall?  
Thanks for your time. Any help would be appreciated.

    This should have been sent to the openjms-user list.
     
    You need to use the tcp connector rather than rmi, and
    configure the <TcpConfiguration/> element in openjms.xml.
     
    E.g
      <Connectors>
        <Connector scheme="tcp">
          <ConnectionFactories>
            <QueueConnectionFactory name="QueueConnectionFactory" />
            <TopicConnectionFactory name="TopicConnectionFactory" />
          </ConnectionFactories>
        </Connector>
      </Connectors>
       ...
      <ServerConfiguration host="216.195.1.39"/>
      <TcpConfiguration internalHost="192.168.0.2"/>
     
    See
    http://openjms.sourceforge.net/config/reference.html#TcpConfiguration
    for more details.

        Subject: [openjms-developer] rmi port and firewall problems--
        inside firewall is OK send/receive
        
        
        I am having difficulty connecting to jms server from OUTSIDE of
        firewall. 
        I have 2 computers behind a firewall, 192.168.0.2  acting as
        receiver and has jms server. 
        192.168.0.3  acts sender, for test. (Yes, I double checked these
        IP numbers-- they are correct) 
        Note that these IPs are not public to the internet at large, nor
        should they be. 
        
        Netgear firewall, 192.168.0.1,   maps: incoming request on at
        216.195.1.39  on port 1099  to 192.168.0.2 
        216.195.1.39  is a public ip (mine), and web server works just
        fine, to verify ip is valid. 
        The mapping mechanism works just fine, because a web server (/=
        jms) runs on 192.168.0.2, works 
        as expected. The web server host is listening on
        192.168.0.2:8080. 
        
        
        openjms.xml  file 
        rmi configuration   192.168.0.3        port 1099 
        
        From command line, jms server starts up properly. 
        Invoke and receiver program which employs the code: 
        
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); 
                    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, 
                   
        org.exolab.jms.jndi.InitialContextFactory.class.getName()  ); 
                    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
        "rmi://192.168.0.2:1099"); 
                   
        
        Invoke a sender program, outside of firewall (some computer
        other than the 2 behind my firewall)  which employs the code: 
        
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); 
                    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, 
                   
        org.exolab.jms.jndi.InitialContextFactory.class.getName()  ); 
                    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
        "rmi://216.195.1.39:1099"); 
                   
        connection refused from rmi host 
        
        
        But note that, when sender program is invoked on 192.168.0.2 
        (within the firewall), receiver responds to messages from the
        sender-- as expected. 
        Also note, that when firewall mapping is disabled, then receiver
        does not respond to sender-- as 
        expected. 
        And clearly when the jms server is down, then the receiver
        program gives and exception-- as 
        expected. 
        
        So it is a firewall issue of some sort. Any help would be
        appreciated. Mr. Mathews had a similar 
        problem. Thanks.
