[webdriver] Question about RemoteWebDriverServer

[Nilesh]

I am fairly new to RemoteWebDriverServer, Jetty and Servlet. Sorry if
this sounds really basic. I am using 2.0b2, jetty 6.1.22,jetty-
util-6.1.22. I am trying to configure the selenium server in the code
so that I can avoid the manual process of starting the selenium
server on the remote host. Here is what I have so far, basically copy
of the code from the RemoteWebDriverServer wiki [1]. When I start the
server locally, I get following message.

2011-06-03 10:30:55.312:INFO::Logging to STDERR via
org.mortbay.log.StdErrLog
2011-06-03 10:30:55.343:INFO::jetty-6.1.22
2011-06-03 10:30:55.577:INFO::NO JSP Support for , did not find
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet
2011-06-03 10:30:55.827:INFO::Started
SelectChann...@0.0.0.0:4444

If I set the remote host like below, I get bind exception.
public AppServer() throws Exception {
try {
WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
context.setContextPath("");
context.setWar(".");
server.addHandler(context);
context.addServlet(DriverServlet.class, "/wd/*");
SelectChannelConnector connector = new SelectChannelConnector();
connector.setHost("MyRemoteHostIPAddress");
connector.setPort(4444);
server.addConnector(connector);
server.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
new AppServer();
}
}

2011-06-03 10:32:26.747:WARN::failed
SelectChannelConnector@MyRemoteHostIPAddress:4444:
java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: bind

So I thought the port might not be open or some other app may be using
this port. So I ran the above code "locally" on the "remote host" and
then ran my webdriver test on my "local machine" then I get following
exception. I did try different port numbers here but no success. If I
start the selenium server manually on the remote hosts, the webdriver
test on my local system works just fine.

Is there anything I am missing or doing incorrectly?

Am I missing the WAR file in the code above? RemoteWebDriverServer
wiki mentions to download "webdriver-remote-server.zip". Could someone
point me to its location? Perhaps I can find the WAR file in there?

Thanks,

Please disregard the second Exception I posted earlier, I fixed that.
It turned out to be a bug in my code. So when I run start the jetty
server through code "locally" on the "remote" host, I was actually
connecting from my local machine to URL http://remoteServer:remotePort/wd/hub
instead of http://remoteServer:remotePort/wd. After this change test
works fine.

The only issue that I have now is- how to start the server "remotely"
from my "local" machine. Following still seems to be a problem.
Anyone?

connector.setHost("MyRemoteHostIPAddress");
connector.setPort(3002);
