Hi, I have just started using RHM. I have a Java client which works correctly when I run it against the Java broker. I am now trying to use the C++ broker for performance reasons. I installed the broker using "yum install qpidd" on a 64 bit Intel machine running an early version of Fedora 8. The install ran smoothly and the broker appears to be running ok, When I run my client it basically seems to time out with this error: javax.jms.JMSException: Error creating connection: State not achieved within permitted time. Current state AMQState: id = 1 name: CONNECTION_NOT_STARTED, desired state: AMQState: id = 4 name: CONNECTION_OPEN After I get this error I see some output on the broker: Closing socket 0x60b230@0x625f70 Session closed [0x625f70] This is the code I am using to get a connection. InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(properties); AMQConnectionFactory cf = (AMQConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("local"); Connection connection = cf.createConnection(); These are the properties I am passing in to the InitialContext: java.naming.factory.initial = org.apache.qpid.jndi.PropertiesFileInitialContextFactory connectionfactory.local = amqp://guest:guest@clientid/test?brokerlist='tcp://192.168.1.14:5672' To summarize, this works fine when I run against a Java broker on the same machine but fails if I run it against a remote C++ broker. I've disabled the firewall on the broker machine so that's not the issue. I would appreciate some pointers so I can debug this further. Thanks, Andy.
