[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBREM-792) Provide to the client local address of a TCP/IP connection, as seen from the server

Provide to the client local address of a TCP/IP connection, as seen from the server ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBREM-792 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-792 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.4.0.Beta1 (Pinto) Reporter: Ron Sigal Assigned To: Ron Sigal Fix For: 2.4.0.Beta1 (Pinto) When org.jboss.remoting.Client.addListener() creates a callback org.jboss.remoting.transport.Connector, by default it calls InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() to get a local address for the callback org.jboss.remoting.InvokerLocator. If the machine happens to have multiple addresses, getLocalHost() might return the wrong one. A solution, due to Ovidiu Feodorov, is to implement an internal invocation to which the server replies by returning the remote address of the connection over which the invocation was made. This solution has been implemented for the socket transport (and bisocket, by inheritance) in conjunction with JBREM-781. It should be implemented for the other transports.
