Error creating connection to Solace server using the solace-samples-jms

bitsurfing

Hello, I've been testing the "solace-samples-jms" from github using the "TopicSubscriber.java". I have had no problems on certain computers, but when run from another computer on the network I get errors. I have verified that this is not a firewall issue. I have tried other computers. The only thing I noticed is that the hostname in the ones that fail is long and gets cut off by in the error messages displayed.

I thought it was a bug with a fix, so I tried different version with the same error. Current dependencies:
com.solacesystems:sol-jms:10.8.1
javax.jms:javax.jms-api:2.0.1

Has anyone seen such behavior or error listed below?

Here is the error message, but with the hostnames anonymized:

Hi @bitsurfing ... the hostname that is truncated: is it the client name in the logs? That's what I'm inferring from your stacktrace above. If so, don't worry about it... the API will automatically generate a client name for the connection, using the current host... it's just a name and doesn't have anything to do with routing.

So it just looks like a network connectivity issue to me. How have you verified there is no firewall issue? What happens if try to telnet to port 55555 on solace-server from your problem host? If good, it should connect and just sit there (and eventually close). I'm assuming you haven't configured any Connection ACLs or anything?
