Re: Webfacing Server connection Socket closed

This application has been eared up and installed on WAS V6.1 on the same
machine that the WF server is running on so there are no firewalls between
the servers.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Webfacing Server connection Socket closed







It is likely then that the invocation has the wrong address or port for
the machine that the WF server is running on. If you are running in the
WTE in WDSC you could turn up the tracing to maybe FINE or so and I think
it should say in the console what it is trying to connect to. Are there
any firewalls between the WAS and the WF server ?

[WDSCI-L] Webfacing Server connection Socket closed






Problem
We have built a webfaced application, installed it on WAS and started the
app. After launching the application and entering a logon and password,
the app server attempts to connect to the WF server -http://local
IP:10016/AM/WFInvocation.do and then the error occurs.
We assumed it was the Webfacing server, checking PTF's, making sure the
port was open, etc. and can not identify the problem.

NETSTAT indicates the WF server is never touched when the application
tries to connect

However, if we URL to http://99.99.99.99:4004 or http://local IP:4004
NETSTAT indicates that the WF server is listening and shows a hit on the
server

Question:
How do I troubleshoot the connection between the Websphere app server and
the Webfacing server?
