Sun Java Application Server 9 Start Up Woes
Hi,
I was asked to install the netbeans 5.5 IDE (which comes with Java Application Server 9 bundled with it) and basically learn how to develop using JMS. After installing everything and following the JavaEE tutorial, I began to set everything up. I get hung during the Sun Java Application Server 9 start up.
It attempts to bind to my host name. After a week of research as to the cause, i discovered that the problem is that the server gets my host name from DNS and uses that as its bind location. The software running at my place of business prevents me from making connections such as these with anything but localhost connections.
I descovered this when I read on here from another topic that i should try and start the server after disabling my network card. This method works in that the server starts up, no longer using my host name as the host but rather using localhost. Now this in no way fixes my problem.
I was wondering if there were any workarounds that would force the application server or netbeans or whatever to use localhost isntead of doing a host name lookup?
The error I got was a NoRouteToHostException, and when I disabled my network card that error went away, the error changed to UnknownHostException, but the server started up and I was then able to go to the admin page and deploy applications (but not run)
P.S. I was going to post the output of the server start ups, but the size is crazy long, if you have a way for me to remove the stack trace I would be glad to give it a try.
