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

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; }
