[jboss-as7-dev] Intermittent "Connection refused" when starting domain

[Brian Stansberry]

It might have something to do with this in org.jboss.as.process.Main.start()

         final ProtocolServer.Configuration configuration = new 
ProtocolServer.Configuration();
         if (bindAddress != null) {
             configuration.setBindAddress(new 
InetSocketAddress(bindAddress, bindPort));
         } else {
             configuration.setBindAddress(new InetSocketAddress(bindPort));
         }
         // todo better config
         configuration.setBindAddress(new 
InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 0));
         configuration.setSocketFactory(ServerSocketFactory.getDefault());
         final ThreadFactory threadFactory = new JBossThreadFactory(new 
ThreadGroup("ProcessController-threads"), Boolean.FALSE, null, "%G - 
%t", null, null, AccessController.getContext());
         configuration.setThreadFactory(threadFactory);
 
configuration.setReadExecutor(Executors.newCachedThreadPool(threadFactory));

         final ProcessController processController = new 
ProcessController(configuration, System.out, System.err);

The handling of configuration.setBindAddress() is clearly off, and the 
end result in the ProcessController (which is what the HostController is 
failing to connect to in your stack) is listening on 
InetAddress.getLocalHost().

That might not be the issue, but it has an odd smell; the todo clearly 
needs to be cleaned up.
