I'm working on a project that is using Java 1.6 and Weblogic 10.3. The application involves a swing client that connects to weblogic via weblogic's t3 protocol (and is launched via a JNLP link from a page in the web application). We have several instances of the application running on different servers. You can log into the web application from a machine on the same network domain and from a machine on a different network domain. However, the swing client can only connect to a server on the same network domain. We get a java.io.IOException: Write not supported error wrapped in a CORBA error.

I've managed to isolate this through using a dummy client that just tries to create an InitialContext; it fails when creating the InitialContext for servers not on the same domain as the client (either for a server running WEblogic 10.3 or for ones running the previous version of our application and Weblogic 8.1). However, the same dummy client, when run with java 1.4, has no problems connecting -- to either 10.3 or 8.1.

Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this? As I said, it works fine for machines running on the same network domain, but our business model has cases where the server is on a different domain from the client.

Does the jndi.properties file need to have a different URL property value to connect from outside your network?

I am thinking this is where it is failing, and just a guess. Though that is the first place I would look.

Is there a multicast IP address that you need? Is the app server behind a Firewall that someone outside has to get through to reach the App Server?
