I think the binding interface for services that open sockets should be
coming from the ServiceBindingManager, same as the ports do. Currently
most services use ${jboss.bind.address} to inject the address directly
into the consuming service. But that precludes a management tool using
SBM as a central configuration point for all address/port usage in the
server.[1] Currently it's mostly only useful for the ports; if admins
wanted to use something other than ${jboss.bind.address} for a
particular service they'd have to go elsewhere in the tool to configure
that.
Thoughts?
