Failed to verify connection (Discussion forum connection in jdeveloper 11g)

Question

I have followed the steps provide in the documentation -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_announce.htm#CHDEIAHH
to create a discussion forum connection.
But I have noticed couple of things.
There are two different scenarios .
1)If the WC_Collaboration server is located within local machine and the jdeveloper 11g discussion forum connection is in local machine,then connection is successful.
2)If the WC_Collaboration server is located at remote machine and the jdeveloper 11g discussion forum connection is another machine,then connection is errorneous and it is showing "Failed to verify connection"

Answer 1

Hi,
In your webcenter application you have created the discussion forum connection and you have connections.xml file in your application.Open the connections.xml in jdeveloper and check the discussion forum connection entry.
For example here I have written down my entry on forum connection-
<Reference name="Discussion Forum Connection" className="oracle.adf.mbean.share.connection.webcenter.forum.ForumConnection" xmlns="">
<Factory className="oracle.adf.mbean.share.connection.webcenter.forum.ForumConnectionFactory"/>
<RefAddresses>
<StringRefAddr addrType="forum.url">
<Contents>http://localhost:8890/owc_discussions</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="admin.user">
<Contents>weblogic</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="connection.time.out">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="policy.uri.for.auth.access">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="policy.uri.for.public.access">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="recipient.key.alias">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="adapter.name">
<Contents>Jive</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
</RefAddresses>
</Reference>
Change the required entries with your values(for serveraddress,port and admin user).
One more thing need to consider that is -
in jdeveloper proxy ,add the server address in exception list and restart the jdeveloper.
Sometimes it will show you up as "failed to verify the connection". But it will work atleast functionality-wise it will work.
