[jboss-as7-dev] JBAS-9151 requires an api change to InterfaceCriteria

[Scott Stark]

So digging into this more, the issue cannot be resolved without an api 
change because there are interface criteria that aggregate other 
criteria. For example, the 
NetworkServiceInterface.OverallInterfaceCriteria, NotInterfaceCriteria, 
AnyInterfaceCriteria, etc. The current issue I have is that the 
LoopbackInterfaceCriteriaWithAddress is wrapped in a 
NetworkServiceInterface.OverallInterfaceCriteria instance, and therefore 
I cannot determine that it provides a InterfaceCriteriaWithAddress 
implementation. The proper change would require a change to the 
InterfaceCriteria to return the bindAddress to use when the criteria is 
accepted, with the default implementation simply returning the input 
address:

public interface InterfaceCriteria extends Serializable {

     /**
      * Gets whether the given network interface and address are 
acceptable for
      * use. Acceptance is indicated by returning the address which 
should be used for binding against
      * the network interface, typically this is the input address. For 
those criteria which override the
      * bind address, the overriden address should be returned.
      *
      * @param networkInterface the network interface. Cannot be 
<code>null</code>
      * @param address an address that is associated with 
<code>networkInterface</code>. Cannot be <code>null</code>
      * @return <code>InetAddress</code> the non-null address to bind to 
if the criteria is met, null if the criteria does not apply
      *
      * @throws SocketException
      */
     InetAddress isAcceptable(NetworkInterface networkInterface, 
InetAddress address) throws SocketException;
}
