I've got problem with RMI comunication between 2 machines (win 7 and win xp VM). The exception with I have problem is:
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 169.254.161.21; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
It's really weired because during connection I use address 192.168.1.4 (server), but exception somehow show sth different. I disabled firewall on both side. Ping working to both side. I tried telnet to server and use server port: telnet 192.168.1.4 1099 and it's working... I can't figure out where the problem is. If I run this on host side (eg server side) everything works fine.
How is it look from SERVER:
public class Server
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
InputStreamReader is = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(is);
String portNum, registryURL;
try{
System.out.println("Enter the RMIregistry port number:");
portNum = (br.readLine()).trim();
int RMIPortNum = Integer.parseInt(portNum);
startRegistry(RMIPortNum); // Registry registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(RMIPortNum);
ServerSide_Impl exportedObj = new ServerSide_Impl();
registryURL = "rmi://localhost:" + portNum + "/callback";
//registryURL = "rmi://192.168.1.4:" + portNum + "/callback";
Naming.rebind(registryURL, exportedObj);
System.out.println("Callback Server ready.");
}// end try
catch (Exception re) {
System.out.println(
"Exception in HelloServer.main: " + re);
} // end catch
} // end main
//This method starts a RMI registry on the local host, if
//it does not already exists at the specified port number.
private static void startRegistry(int RMIPortNum) throws RemoteException
{
try
{
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(RMIPortNum);
registry.list( );
// This call will throw an exception
// if the registry does not already exist
}
catch (RemoteException e)
{
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(RMIPortNum);
}
} // end startRegistry
} // end class
Client side is look like:
try
{
this.serverAd = serverAddress.getText();
String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
String pathAfter = path.replace("\\", "/");
String pathFile = "file:/"+pathAfter + "/wideopen.policy";
System.setProperty("java.security.policy", pathFile);
System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager());
this.hostName = hostNameTextField.getText();
this.portNum = hostPortNumberTextField.getText();
RMIPort = Integer.parseInt(this.portNum);
this.time = Integer.parseInt(timeTextField.getText());
//this.registryURL = "rmi://localhost:" + this.portNum + "/callback";
String registryURLString = "rmi://"+this.serverAd+":" + this.portNum + "/callback";
this.registryURL = registryURLString;
ConsoleTextField.append("\n"+ this.registryURL + "\n");
// find the remote object and cast it to an
// interface object
obj = (ServerSide_Interface)Naming.lookup(this.registryURL);
boolean test = obj.Connect();
if(test)
{
callbackObj = new ClientSide_Impl();
// register for callback
obj.registerForCallback(callbackObj);
isConnected = true;
ConsoleTextField.append("Nawiązano połaczenie z serwerem\n");
TableModel modelTemp = obj.Server_GenerateStartValues();
myDataTable.setModel(modelTemp);
myDataTable.setEnabled(true);
}
else ConsoleTextField.append("Brak połączenia z serwerem\n");
}
catch (Exception ex ){
ConsoleTextField.append(ex + "\n");
System.out.println(ex);
}
This connection is working fine if I run client on host side. If I use VM and try connect between 2 different machines, I can;t figure out what did I do bad
