Hi,

I am trying to login to a remote repository using a rmi client. I know
that port 1099 on the remote machine is accepting connection and there are
no firewall issues but my code fails at
session = repository.login (credentials, "testrep");

I can telnet to the port 1099 on the remote machine.

The trace message is
org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.client.RemoteRepositoryException: Connection
refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect: Connection
refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    at org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.client.ClientRepository.login(
ClientRepository.java:99)
    at com.co.cd.samples.Importer.main(Importer.java:223)

It seems that the client is trying to connect to the local machine for
some reason.
On debugging this is what I see in the ServerRepository_Stub remote
instance "ServerRepository_Stub[UnicastRef [liveRef: [endpoint:[
127.0.0.1:51964](remote),objID:[-306a124b:10dc6b3cde5:-8000, 0]]]]"

So the remote repository is getting bound to 127.0.0.1. Is this a bug or
am I missing something?

Thanks.

Vikas.

Well,

The same everything worked fine on a separate WinXP server box. So if there
are any linux firewall/port blocking/port releasing gurus here, tips
appreciated.

Thanks.
