[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-1614) Support remote sockets in interface and socket-binding handling

Support remote sockets in interface and socket-binding handling --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-1614 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1614 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Domain Management Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: jaikiran pai Fix For: 7.1.0.Beta1 Support configs for remote interfaces and socket bindings in the domain model. See referenced dev list thread for a use case, as well as my comment on https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/192. From the dev list thread: Another thing to deal with is interface resolution. With the exception of the "<loopback address="127.0.0.4"/> criteria Scott added, resolving an interface means finding a NIC on the machine that matches the criteria. If that can't be done, it's an error condition. To avoid that there would need to be some new criteria added (e.g. <remote-inet-address value="10.0.0.53"/>) or an attribute added to the existing inet-address criteria (e.g. <inet-address value="10.0.0.53" local="false"/>. A minor issue relates to changing the configuration of a socket binding. Basically, we try and track whether you've used a particular SocketBinding service to open a socket; if not we let you change the binding config without requiring a server restart or reload. This connection-url stuff won't use the SocketBinding service to create a socket, so the binding will be editable at runtime with no reload/restart required. But there's no dependency relationship between the binding and the datasource, so that change is not going to be reflected in the datasource. This is just an example of the general problem with using system properties as an injection mechanism. I don't think this last point is a blocker, it just requires documentation.
