[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-3325) Remove old code

Remove old code --------------- Key: JBAS-3325 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3325 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Other Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA Environment: JBoss 4.0.3.SP1 $ java -version java version "1.4.2_12" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_12-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_12-b03, mixed mode) $ java -version java version "1.5.0_07" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode, sharing) Reporter: Robert Schroeder Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis Fix For: JBossAS-4.0.6.CR1 http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingJBossBehindAFirewall mentions the parameter "java.rmi.server.hostname" to set if the external host name differs from the local host (e.g. server machine is behind a firewall) But org.jboss.web.WebService doesn'r recognize this parameter: String hostname = server.getBindAddress(); // this always returns something, at least "0.0.0.0"! // If not user specified hostname given, then try to determine what it should be if (hostname == null) //this branch is never executed! { // First look for the rmi server name try { hostname = System.getProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname"); // this parameter is not recognized as this branch is never executed } catch (SecurityException e) { // ignore, but don't be silent ThrowableHandler.addWarning(e); } // else use the localhost name if (hostname == null) { try { hostname = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(); } catch (IOException e) { log.error("Failed to get localhost name; ignoring", e); } } if (hostname != null) { setHost(hostname); } } // Host must be set to continue (either by user or detection) String address = getHost(); if (address == null) throw new MissingAttributeException("Host"); // Set the rmi codebase if it is not already set String codebase = System.getProperty("java.rmi.server.codebase"); if (codebase == null) { address = ServerConfigUtil.fixRemoteAddress(address); codebase = "http://" + address + ":" + getPort() + "/"; System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.codebase", codebase); } log.info("Using RMI server codebase: " + codebase); So the resulting problem is that codebase contains an address which is not reachable from the other side of firewall because "java.rmi.server.hostname" is not recognized (same for "-Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=false" ) Example: JBoss started with parameter set "-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=as2.subdomain1.subdomain2.test.com" but (thanks to rmi logging) the proxy objects on client side have codebase set to "http://as2:<port>" and not to "http://as2.subdomain1.subdomain2.test.com:<port>" as expected. JBoss 4 runs on a linux machine hostname --> "as2" hostname -f --> "as2.subdomain1.subdomain2.test.com"
