NameService returns IOR pointing to host 0.0.0.0

[Juergen Weber]

Hi,

I try to address the 2.0.2 MyTime EJB sample from a JacORB Corba client.
(2.2-SNAPSHOT Build 2009.09.10-08:12:53.147-0400)

These lines work:

NamingContextExt nc =
                NamingContextExtHelper.narrow(orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"));
MyTimeHome home = MyTimeHomeHelper.narrow(nc.resolve(nc.to_name("MyTime")));
           
but the home IOR points to host 0.0.0.0 which of course cannot be reached, so I get a socket connect failure on home.create().

the IOR in home is
IOR: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

which ILU IOR Parser parses as:

_IIOP_ParseCDR:  byte order BigEndian, repository id <RMI:org.apache.geronimo.testsuite.corba.mytime.MyTimeHome:0000000000000000>, 1 profile

 no trustworthy most-specific-type info; unrecognized ORB type;
 reachable with IIOP 1.2 at host "0.0.0.0", port 6882

Geronimo comes up without errors, but all ports are at 0.0.0.0, which the NameService returns, I guess:

[****************************************] 100% 159s Startup complete
  Listening on Ports:
    1050 0.0.0.0 CORBA Naming Service
    1099 0.0.0.0 RMI Naming
    1527 0.0.0.0 Derby Connector
    2001 0.0.0.0 OpenEJB ORB Adapter
    4201 0.0.0.0 OpenEJB Daemon

    8443 0.0.0.0 Tomcat Connector HTTPS BIO TomcatWebSSLConnector
    9999 0.0.0.0 JMX Remoting Connector

How can I make Geronimo use the eth0 address?

Thanks,
Juergen

Did you try setting ServerHostName in var/config/config-
substitutions.properties?  I don't know if it _will_ work but it  
_should_ :-)

Thanks, that helped, my Corba client can call the EJB now.

But it should work automatically that the server knows its listen address (your friendly helpers at the mailing list might not always have time ;-)

The console already knew the eth0 address:
Node   linda/127.0.1.1

So, why can't this linda hostname be used server-wide?

Thanks,
Juergen

I'm not sure where you are seeing this.  However, according to your  
first post, the tomcat is listening on 0.0.0.0, i.e. all interfaces.  
I strongly suspect the console is just picking one more or less  
randomly to tell you about.  Certainly if you had 10 network cards in  
the box I'd expect you'd prefer to configure which one or ones to use.

It does seem to me that we should be able to configure the corba  
naming service ip address separately from the server host address in  
case you want to run it remotely.
