Hi I am not able to access JMS messages from outside the orion server. I wrote a small testing JMS client through which I want to get the messages from the Orion JMS server. I am getting the following exception. java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.DataOutputStream.writeUTF(Unknown Source) at java.io.DataOutputStream.writeUTF(Unknown Source) at com.evermind.server.jms.ck.<init>(JAX) at com.evermind.server.jms.EvermindQueueConnection.start(JAX) at JMSTest.main(JMSTest.java:24) My jndi.properties file is java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialCont extFactory java.naming.provider.url=ormi://localhost/PrismApp java.naming.security.principal=admin java.naming.security.credentials=admin If I setup the same sample application as a client module in orion server it starts with no problem. The above exception I get if I start to run the sample application from outside the orion environment. Am I missing something? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
