[wildfly-dev] WF 8 vs EAP 6 and use of -b

[Phil Festoso]

Hi all,

One of the changes from EAP 5 to 6 is that the -b option no longer "just works" and requires the admin to change the configuration to use <loopback-address/> instead of <inet-address/>. 


Some of my customers were surprised by the change. They enjoyed the ease of use that -b gave them and are hoping to see that feature brought back. I noticed that in WF 8.2 -b does just work (at least on the RHEL vms I tested). Does this mean that users can expect to see -b back in play (ie w/o need for config changes) for EAP 7? 

Thanks.
