EJB application not accessible from different machine using IIOP-ORB

[rajeev vaish]

Hi
In one application, I have developed a session bean, and deployed same on Websphere Application Server 5.0. Now I am able to access this EJB with a client in same machine(with EJB Server)by using
provider-url = "iiopname://localhost:2809" setting.
JDK1.4.0_04 is used in concerned machines.
Initial Context Factory from SUN (com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory)is used to lookup beans.
But when I do access this Session Bean from a different machine with changed appropriate setting, it gives me following error :
[EJBTransport] creation of Request Handler failed: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No at com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.ConnectionTable.getConnection(ConnectionTable.java:173) at com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.ConnectionTable.getConnection(ConnectionTable.java:65) at com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.GIOPImpl.getConnection(GIOPImpl.java:67) at com.sun.corba.se.internal.corba.ClientDelegate.createRequest(ClientDelegate.java:638) at com.sun.corba.se.internal.corba.ClientDelegate.createRequest(ClientDelegate.java:580) at com.sun.corba.se.internal.corba.ClientDelegate.request(ClientDelegate.java:872) at org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl._request(ObjectImpl.java:431) at com.ibm.WsnOptimizedNaming._NamingContextStub.resolve(_NamingContextStub.java:1282) at com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtx.callResolve(CNCtx.java:440) at com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtx.lookup(CNCtx.java:492) at com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtx.lookup(CNCtx.java:470) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:354) at
I have tried different settings in hosts file, but didn't get any success. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Will I require to change anything in various policy files on machine with WebSphere 5.0 installation.
Thanks in advance

First of all, WepShere 5.o uses JRE 1.3. There is a big difference in CORBA support between JDK1.3 and JDK1.4.
I guess you may have to bring the IDL associated with your EJB to your client machine and generate client code from there. Make sure use idlj -oldImplBase to generate JDK1.3 compliant code base.

Look in the InfoCenter about the "Pluggable" application client. You must install the WebSphere JAR files that make that up in order to use a client on another machine with another JVM.
