What I have learned is from trial-and-error, scanning these forums, and scouring the source code for JBoss -- I have not paid for the advanced docs (yet), so I do not know if this is covered in them or not.
One other possibility for why your box is working strangely with shutdown: do you have multiple NICs? Type ipconfig /all in a DOS console window to see if there are multiple IP addresses configured for the box. Even if you don't have more than one physical network card installed, there is the possibility that more than one IP address has been configured (gotta luv Windows...) To force JBoss to use a specific IP address (instead of what Windows thinks is the "default"), start jboss with the following syntax: C:\jboss-3.2.3\bin\run.bat --host=10.10.2.84 -c defaultE2RD Look through the log and make sure you see this IP address reflected in the startup. Once you do this, you should be able to do local and remote shutdown by using --server=10.10.2.84:1199 (or by going to the JMX console and clicking invoking the stop() method on the RMIAdaptor, if you want to shutdown without using the shutdown script -- great for shutting down a JBoss instance with just a web browser). <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3826955#3826955">View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3826955>Reply to the post</a> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
