This is because if the property java.rmi.server.hostname is not set it defaults to localhost, when the App Server starts up, setting this property is one of the first things it does. | | Ive changed the jbm-standalone-beans.xml to inject the host property from the configuration object so that we only need to configure it in one place. The configuration property also sets the java.rmi.server.hostname property when the host is set. Nice catch. Sounds like a nasty one to track down.
