Running java on remote desktop connection - java

I'm trying to run selenium/java scripts on remote server using windows remote desktop connection. I'm pretty new to these things.
I got two ideas in my mind one is to use selenium grid and another one is to use sockets for connecting.
I'm running this script for 404 validation over 1000 urls. I have the code that'll run fine in my local machine but due to frequent network issues my organization wants to run on remote server.
I got access for that server on port 3389 and credentials for remote desktop connection.
Now how to do this?

I can't connect to my dropwizard application remotely

I am able to succesfully use my dropwizard application when accessing with localhosts, but it doesnt work when I access with a different machine. Is there something you need to do make your web application respond to hosts besides localhosts?
I know with flask you must run with the flask run --host=0.0.0.0 is there a setting in the config file which controls this.
If you connect from the same network you´ll probably have an windows firewall issue (if you run on windows) or any other firewall depending on the OS.
You´ll have to allow inbound connections for the specific application on or port 80/443 TCP.
If you´re trying to connect from another network then it probably still is the above but you also have to setup port-forwarding to the machine running your application.
If it´s HTTP, probably port 80. If HTTPS then probably 443, for any other protocol you have to find out the correct port.
Since it´s dropwizard it´s probably HTTP/HTTPS, depending if it has to be secure (definatly recommended for REST APIs)

Java server on OpenShift

At the moment i have an android client app which connects to my java server through socket - serversocket. It sends and receive strings. The java server is connected to a mysql database (actually mariadb) using the jdbc driver.
I succeed to create a jbossas application and upload the code of the java server to openshift, but i didn't find any detailed tutorial on how do i connect to this new uploaded server from my socket client (This one (RMI or socket connection to Java Program on OpenShift) gives some tips but i'm still stucked).
More on this, how do i know that my server runs just fine on openshift and how do i control de calls to the database after i connect it (found this: $ rhc app create MyApp jbossas-7
$ rhc cartridge add mysql-5.5 -a MyApp), using org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver and java.sql is still working ?
Any small guide or tip is highly appreciated. I'm new to these things so please don't be too heavy on comments.
You can only make connections to your OpenShift server on http/https or ws/wss ports. If you want to connect to your java application and pull data from it from an android device, I would suggest using a RESTful api or a servlet, etc.
I had similar problem: My app server originally was running as a ServerSocket listener, and any clients/devices connect to it directly via Socket binding.
To deploy it into OpenShift, my previous initial solution was to change its host:port configuration by following the suggestion as described in this link [Socket connection to Java Program on OpenShift]. It worked nice as far as my app server was successfully up and running. But it did not work well with the port forwarding approach in order to accept remote requests.
So for the final solution, I modified the app server by wrapping my original code with a RESTful webservice around it, and deploy it as a web service.

connect remote MQ using Java?

Friends,
I installed IBM explorer 7.1 which have server and GUI. Locally I connected the queue using inter process communication. Now I need to connect the server QM from remote machine using java standalone program.
In server I have created a queue, port and server channel. when I trying to connect using host name , unable to get the connection. Is this the right way?. else I have to install client where I tried connect that server.but getting error code 2035 when i run that java program. listener and queue manage is running in remote machine. Some forum i seen that AMQCLCHL.TAB file using for client connection. I had confusion whether i have to use that for client connection. if yes how i can use that?

Amazon EC2 server TCP Socket Connection

I have developed a Java server using Eclipse that accepts TCP socket connection from android client, performs some computations, and returns the result to the android phone using this socket. I tried it on Wi-Fi.
I want now to move the Java server to the cloud - basically amazon EC2. Is this possible? I am just using a simple tcp socket connection. I have checked and couldn't find an example but came across "elastic beanstalk". Any help is appreciated, maybe a link or tutorial with such an example.
can i convert my java project to .war and use it or can i install eclipse on the cloud and run it as i do locally?
It is definitely possible. And you don't have to convert your project to a .war, unless you want to.
All you have to do is:
Pick the Amazon Image (AMI) you want to use - Amazon Linux is a good place to start, but there are plenty of other options, including Ubuntu and Windows.
Set up a security group - you need to set an incoming rule for your server's port number. It is pretty easy to do this from the Amazon web-based console.
Start a machine and assign it to the security group you created. Again, this is easily accomplished from the amazon web console.
Once the machine is up, log in (using ssh for Linux or Remote Desktop for windows) and install your server.
A few things to remember:
Since you are now running on a public server, sooner or later your server will be attacked. EVERYONE gets attacked. If all you are opening is your single application port, make sure it is secured.
An Amazon server has a private and public IP. Your client application will connect to the public IP.
Servers can fail, and new servers get new public IPs! You need to prepare for this. Either make the IP in the client configurable, or look into something like Amazon Elastic IPs or dynamic DNS.

App Java and hosting mysql

I have a Java application and I have to connect to a MySQL DB host in aruba.it. If I make a connection, aruba.it refuses that. How to solve this?
To start, I assume that you're trying to run this Java application locally, or at least at a different machine than where the MySQL DB runs and that you got a SQLException: Connection Refused.
To fix the particular problem, all routers and firewalls in the complete network pipe between the client (where the Java application runs) and the server (where the MySQL DB runs) needs to be configured to allow/forward the port number which the DB uses. This is by default 3306. If this port is blocked, you cannot reach the DB from outside.
Another solution is just to upload the Java application in flavor of a webapplication and run it by HTTP. You'd normally use JSP/Servlet for this.
Apart from network, routers, firewall issues the reason can be that by default remote access to MySQL database server is disabled for security reasons. Mostly DB is hosted on the same server or on the trusted server. If you run java application from your desktop, you need to configure MySQL so it will accept this connections. See this manual for details how to do it.
