Hi.

You may have two distinct but related problems, one in the appclient script case and one in the Java Web Start case.

Notice that the error message refers to host 127.0.0.1 and not roberth? This means that the app client container's local ORB is trying to contact a remote ORB at that loopback address and finding no ORB there. It looks as if your system is translating roberth to 127.0.0.1. Do you have a setting like that in your hosts file, for example?

This <target-server> information is provided differently during a Java Web Start launch. In this case, because the server knows what host and port its ORB uses it sends this information automatically in the JNLP document that launches the app client. But, if the server sends roberth:3700 to the client but the client translates roberth to the loopback address 127.0.0.1 then the attempt to connect to the server's ORB will actually try to connect to the local system, and presumably it is not running there.

Can you verify how your client system is translating roberth?
