OK, I got my HL7 listener application (Camel, MINA, HAPI, Spring) working
nicely and today tried to deploy it on the live server. I was able to
connect to it from an app on the server itself but not from elsewhere on the
network, and I was left thinking it must be a firewall issue. But I'm
wondering whether it may simply be an error in the URI, which I have defined
thus:
<camel:camelContext>
<camel:endpoint id="hl7listener"
uri="mina:tcp://localhost:8888?sync=true&codec=hl7codec"/>
</camel:camelContext>
Since returning to my office, I tried deploying the test app on a different
server from the test client and ran into what is apparently the same problem
as at the production site. However, replacing 'localhost' in the URI with
the real address of the server machine means I can now connect to it. Am I
right in now thinking that with 'localhost' in the URI, you can ONLY connect
to it from the same machine? The only examples I've seen use 'localhost' so
I hadn't really given it much thought. If this is the case, is there a way
of specifying the URI which doesn't require me to 'hard code' the real
server hostname in the applicationContext.xml? It surprises me if the above
is the case, because in Tomcat, say, you never have to specify the actual
server address in the config.
