exception: Connection refused: connect.

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to connect a client (which is behind the company's proxy) to a server (JBoss AS 5.0) which is hosting an application (JavaFX). And I am facing the following error.

exception: Connection refused: connect.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

However, if i am trying to access the application(JavaFX) locally, i have no problem loading the application. Do i need to configure any proxy for the client to access the server?

Any advice on solving this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Seems like Jboss server is not running.You need to start server.

Answer 2

It is a feature of JBoss check this document

start JBoss by

./run.sh -b 0.0.0.0   

or

run.bat -b 0.0.0.0
