Accessing EJB methods from an Action Class defined in struts

Question

I have two projects defined in Eclipse. One of them is an EJB(3.0) project and the other is a dynamic web project.

I have defined a stateless session bean named LoginAuthenticator and created two interfaces local and remote for it. In my EJB project I have defined the JNDI.properties file as

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099

I am able to deploy the jar file on JBoss 5.0.0 I am getting the following output on the console after deploying

LoginAuthenticator/remote - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface
LoginAuthenticator/remote-com.SR.enterprise.session.LoginAuthenticatorRemote - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface
LoginAuthenticator/local - EJB3.x Default Local Business Interface
LoginAuthenticator/local-com.SR.enterprise.session.LoginAuthenticatorLocal - EJB3.x Local Business Interface

Now from another web project I have defined an action class LoginAction which will access the exposed methods of my session bean. The initial context is created as

props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://localhost:1099");
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

I am calling the remote method as

LoginAuthenticatorRemote loginAuthenticator = (LoginAuthenticatorRemote) context.lookup("LoginAuthenticator/remote");

When i run the second project on Tomcat 6.0, I am getting the following error message

javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out] [Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect]]]

The port value in jmx-console under service=Naming is 1099 The RmiPort value in jmx-console under service=Naming is 1098 Both the RmiBindAddress & BindAddress in jmx-console under service=Nameing are 127.0.0.1

What could be the reason for the error I am getting? What else should I configure for this? Any help would be highly appreciated.

I got the solution for this. My firewall was blocking the requests on that JNDI address and port, after disabling it the connection works now.
