Hi everyone, I'm new in rosjava. I'am now wrtting a subscriber in rosjava in rosjava node named mynode to "reveive" message type sensor_msgs/JointState from a publisher named /joint_states written in C++. The registering process was ok but there was an exception like the following:

Jul 20, 2012 4:12:50 PM org.ros.internal.node.client.Registrar callMaster
INFO: Response<Success, Registered [/mynode] as publisher of [/rosout], [http://auburn:46838/]>

**I wonder that why the subscribing process was ok while the message receiving was corrupted by an exception ? In the exception message below i saw an ip 194.199.21.22. This i not my computer ip address. Moreover the rosjava node ran on http://127.0.0.1:port but the roscore and other node in C++ ran on http://auburn:ports (auburn: name of my computer).

Everything was ok if i used a subscriber in C++.**

Thank,

I'm getting the same problem and haven't fixed it yet but I traced it to org.ros.internal.node.topic.UpdatePublisherRunnable.run(UpdatePublisherRunnable.java:73). This line contains "selected.getAddress()" which is returning a bogus address.

The problem occurs when the publisher is written in C++ and the subscriber is written in Java. See: http://pharos.ece.utexas.edu/wiki/index.php/How_to_Publish_and_Subscribe_to_a_Custom_Topic_and_Message_using_ROSJava#Troubleshooting:_Connection_exception

The problem is your computer has a hostname that is being improperly resolved by DNS. Test this by opening a terminal and executing:

$ nslookup [your hostname]

In this case, your hostname appears to be "auburn".

The above command will probably return IP address "194.199.21.22". To fix the problem, either fix the DNS entry for "auburn" or change your hostname. One way to do this is to not assign a hostname to your computer by deleting /etc/hostname and then rebooting your machine.

The ROSJava method responsible for resolving a hostname into an IP address is org.ros.address.InetAddressFactory.newFromHostString(String host).

More details are posted here.
