Overview

The default port the remoting connector listens on is 4447.

EAP7, WildFly 9

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:3.0">
    <endpoint worker="default"/>
    <http-connector name="http-remoting-connector" connector-ref="default" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
</subsystem>

EAP 6.4

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:1.2">
    <connector name="remoting-connector" socket-binding="remoting" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
</subsystem>

<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">

Configuration Elements

<worker-thread-pool>

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:1.1">
    <worker-thread-pool read-threads="1" task-keepalive="60" task-max-threads="16" task-core-thread="4" task-limit="16384" write-threads="1" />
    ...
</subsystem>

For more details on the remoting worker thread pool see Remoting Threading Model.

<endpoint>

The Remoting endpoint uses the XNIO Worker declared and configured by the io subsystem. The XNIO worker's configuration is described here: io subsystem worker configuration.

<connector>

security-realm

The presence of the 'security-realm' attribute in the remoting connector configuration triggers enabling of authentication within the remoting service. For more details about remoting security see Remoting Subsystem Concepts - Security.

<http-connector>

The connector-ref is the name of the Undertow http-listener, so if the name of that connector changes, the Remoting reference should also change.

Disabling Remoting Authentication

EAP 6.4

Remove "security-realm" configuration attribute from the connector configuration element.

Configuring Remoting Subsystem to Support Deployed EJB Client Contexts

EAP 7 configuration:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:3.0">
    ...
    <outbound-connections>
        <remote-outbound-connection name="remote-ejb-container-1"
