I have a remote server application running locally and on a remote host (10.1.1.33). The client is connecting to the local instance even though I configured it to connect remote instance. Is there something else I need to configure?

	private static final int DEFAULT_PORT = 3787;
	private static String HOST= "10.1.1.33";
	private BundleContext bundleContext;
	private RemoteConfigurationUtil proxy;
	private List<IProxyListener> listeners= new ArrayList<>();
	private ServiceTracker<RemoteConfigurationUtil, RemoteConfigurationUtil> st;
	public RemoteServiceTracker() {
		this.bundleContext=Activator.getContext();
		IGenericServerContainerGroup group;
		try {
			ServiceReference<IGenericServerContainerGroupFactory> sr = bundleContext.getServiceReference(IGenericServerContainerGroupFactory.class);
			IGenericServerContainerGroupFactory proxy = bundleContext.getService(sr);
			group = proxy.createContainerGroup(HOST, DEFAULT_PORT, null);
			group.createContainer("/server");
...

Hi Greg,

I don't think I'm understanding your environment yet...so some hopefully diagnostic questions:

1) The snippet of code you supply looks like it's for the configuration/startup of the non-localhost server, right?
2) You say that the client is incorrectly connecting to the local server instance (i.e. one at ecftcp://localhost:3282/server, I expect?). And you also say that you are configuring the client to connect to the remote instance (presumably the one at: ecftcp://10.1.1.33:3787/server). How are you configuring the client to do this?
3) What discovery mechanism are you using?
4) Is your client (and localhost server) on the 10.1.1.33 LAN?...or on some other LAN?

Thanks,

Scott

The snippet I posted was for the client. Here is the server code.

		Dictionary<String, String> dict = new Hashtable<String, String>();
		// add OSGi service property indicated export of all interfaces exposed
		// by service (wildcard)
		dict.put(IDistributionConstants.SERVICE_EXPORTED_INTERFACES, IDistributionConstants.SERVICE_EXPORTED_INTERFACES_WILDCARD);
		// add OSGi service property specifying config
		dict.put(IDistributionConstants.SERVICE_EXPORTED_CONFIGS, CONTAINER_TYPE);
		// add ECF service property specifying container factory args
		dict.put(IDistributionConstants.SERVICE_EXPORTED_CONTAINER_FACTORY_ARGUMENTS, "ecftcp://localhost:3787/server");
		try {
			bundleContext.registerService(new String[] {
					ConfigurationUtil.class.getName(), EMailUtil.class.getName(), ServiceUtil.class.getName(),
			RemoteConfigurationUtil.class.getName()} , new RemoteConfigurationUtilImpl(props), dict);
			log.info("RemoteConfigurationUtilImpl RemoteService registered");
		}catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
		}


I am using jmdns, but I really don't need discovery because I only need to connect to a static IP. This was the closest example that I could find for a point to point connection.

10.1.1.33 is the ip of the server, it is on the same lan as the client.



Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

with this configuration you will end up with JmDNS announcing your
service as "ecftcp://localhost:3787/server" and consumers will obviously
fail to connect to the remote service provider but connect to localhost
instead. Try without SERVICE_EXPORTED_CONTAINER_FACTORY_ARGUMENTS or at
least set the hostname to the external name of the machine providing the
service.

Thank you for your reply. I tried using both the ip and server name without any luck. If it makes any difference, I am accessing the server via a VPN. Is it possible to establish a connection without using discovery?

Hi Greg,

I wonder if it is really JmDNS that is still announcing the service as
localhost. Can you use an scanner like 'mdns-scan' and check what gets
announced on your LAN?

Markus,

Using Wire Shark I looked at the communications and determined that the problem is probably caused by the VPN configuration not passing the mDNS packets. After a little research I decided that zookeeper would be a better fit for the application, and have been able to make it work.

Thanks for your support!
