[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2409) host.xml host name should default to something unique

host.xml host name should default to something unique ----------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-2409 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2409 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Domain Management Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Alpha1 Environment: all Reporter: Rich Sharples Labels: eap6-ux Fix For: 7.1.0.CR1 in a distribibuted domain environment (ie. typical production env.) host name in host.xml must be unique : <host xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.1" name="RichS"> otherwise we get a startup error. To avoid having to modify this config for all machines (could be 10^3), we need a way to default this to a unique id. One idea would be to have a UUID property generated from the host-ip + process-id. That would provide unique IDs across the domain and also allow multiple instances per machine. In domain mode this really should be the default (ie. we shold always use the property in domain/configuration/host.xml). Note : if we do use host-ip+process-id then the ID is going to be different every time the process start - that may be a problem in itself.
