Accessing Remote Data Over the Service-Enabled Application Module

Question

Hi,
I am trying to access the service enabled module remotely(model project is deployed on different machine) deployed on Integrated WLS server. For that I have done the following step;
1)     Created simple model project as producer.
2)     Created the jar of model project(producer) .
3)     Added the Bc_profileCommon.jar to the Consumer app.
4)     Changed the connections.xml(Consumer) file accordingly (PFA).
5)     Created the Entity Objects based on the wsdl in Consumer.
6)     Created the JNDI on server and added the users with credentials.
7)     I managed to access service enabled app module locally.
But I am not able to understand following tags in the connections.xml(for remote access) file such as
<StringRefAddr addrType="jndiProviderURL">
<Contents>t3://10.180.190.214:7101</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="jndiSecurityPrincipal">
<Contents>weblogic</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
<SecureRefAddr addrType="jndiSecurityCredentials">
<Contents>kiran</Contents>
</SecureRefAddr>
Also I am getting a warning for the SecureRefAddr as “No grammer available for the absent namespace contents of element of Contents cannot be validated.”
Please let me know the significance of the red word. And what value I should set so that it will access the service enabled application module remotely?
** I am using Jdev 11.1.1.3.0

As Bob rightly says you may have a problem if the machine you are trying to access is on a corporate network as you will need the permission and help of the network administrator to achieve this.
I assume from your post that there is not a VPN connection set up on the remote PC network. Assuming that you have access to the router on the remote network then you will need to set up portforwarding on it at some point so I suggest you go to this page and see if your router is listed as you will need some instructions if you don't use the software suggested by Bob.
When accessing a remote machine, PC or Mac, I have always used a secure connection to do so and the alternative to a VPN is an SSH tunnel. Unfortunately unlike the Mac Windows doesn't come with SSH server software installed so if you want to go down this route you will have to install and configure this first. I haven't tried this on Windows 7 yet but I have been successful on Windows XP and there are plenty of sites with instructions on how to set this up like this one here. Once the SSH server is set up on the PC and port 22 on your remote router has been forwarded then you can set up a SSH tunnel in the same way as described in my post in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10847513&#10847513
