This might sound a very basic question for the N/W gurus so please try to help me here.
I have developed a simple Webservice in Java and deployed it on a local machine using Eclipse/Ant. The path looks like this -
http://localhost:8284/myws?wsdl
Now, I have provided a static IP for the local machine say XX.XX.XXX.XX and I can ping it from any remote machine over internet.
In my Java program, I have provided endpoint name as -
"http://localhost:8284/myws" and it works fine on local machine and opens the wsdl just fine in a browser.
Now, I want to deploy this webservice in a way that, I can access it remotely using my static IP i.e XX.XX.XXX.XX
Problem 1:
When I try to assign the endpoint as "http://XX.XX.XXX.XX:8284/myws" my Java program gives error saying
Server Runtime Error: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: bind
Problem 2:
If I deploy it as "http://localhost:8284/myws", I am not able to access it over internet using URL like http://XX.XX.XXX.XX:8284/myws?wsdl.
Things I have did so far - -
a. Turned off the firewall b. Created 2 rules inbound/outbound with port 8284 allowed.
My question is, will I need a router to do a port-forwarding thing? Or will I need an IIS to deploy it?
I really want to ignore both of them. If there is any simple way to do that please let me know. Am I missing something? I am able to ping the IP and can also connect through RDC.
Info -
Machine is on Windows 7.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
