Hi, I am new to jonas server. i am running Jonas 2.0 , on linux with ApacheJserv for servlet I am facing the problem that, i have written a small session stateless bean which takes a number and give back its negation. I have generated beans classes with EJBWizard. I have written a Servlet as client , When i am passing any value to my bean i am getting error " Exception Occued java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: shiva.infotech-financials.com; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused " I dont why this error is coming. when iam going through mailing list odf jonas i found problem " Problem looking up Bean from remote client " where you mentioned that pass arjument to JVM " When you start the JVM for the client, do you have these enviroment settings, it's required so the lookup can connect to the server, where <machinename> is the machine running rmiregistry and EJBServer ... -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.rmi.registry.RegistryContextFactory -Djava.naming.provider.url=rmi://<machinename>:1099/ " I mentioned the abovre things into the jndi properties. then i run registry then EJBServer then through browser servlet. can you help me in sorting it out, How to pass arjuments to JVM . Thanks in advance. Ritesh. ---- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "unsubscribe jonas-users".
