Trouble resolving topicConnectionFactoryBindingName on a remote (JBoss) server

["Coughlan, Christian" <CC...@sark.com>]

I've been trying to configure the JMSAppender to write to a topic located on a remote (JBoss 3.2.3) server.  The client/test application is running on weblogic 6.1 sp2 (on the same machine).  It consists of several different EJBs that use log4j.  Here is my current configuration.  Notice that the ProviderURL is port 2099.  This was necessary to get around a JBoss startup error (port in use conflict), and I can verify that the JBoss Naming services are in fact running and listening on port 2099.
 
<appender name="JMS_Appender" class="org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender">
     <param name="TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName" value="java:/ConnectionFactory"/>
     <param name="TopicBindingName" value="topic/LoggerTopic"/>
     <param name="ProviderURL" value="jnp://xxx.xxx.xxx.com:2099"/>
     <param name="InitialContextFactoryName" value="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"/>
</appender>
 
I've been testing different values for the ProviderURL with no luck.  If it helps, I could set the ProviderURL to "whereis.my.mind:2099" and I would get the same error.  My guess would be this is an indication of a problem with the initial context, but at this point I'm blocked and could use a push in the right direction.  I'm new to both JMS and Log4j so be gentle (or not).  I would just be happy with a solution.  Thanks! 

Here is the trace...

ip of client

[Samir Shaikh <ss...@worldres.com>]

Hi,
I have a webservice and I am wanting to get the Client IP (the one that
comes in server access logs) for logging purposes. I dont know how to get
that.

Any help in this will be appreciated.

Thanks.
