[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3607) IPv6: Incorrect address binding - web subsystem

IPv6: Incorrect address binding - web subsystem ----------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-3607 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3607 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Web Affects Versions: 7.1.0.CR1b Reporter: Pavel Janousek Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere Priority: Critical Labels: eap6_prd_req Fix For: 7.1.1.Final There is another example of incorrect address binding in IPv6 environment. Steps how to reproduce: 1. Download, unpack DR12 build somewhere 2. Remove -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true, or change it to -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false parameter inside JAVA_OPT in file bin/standalone.conf 3. Set some usefull IPv6 address to network interface (in my case network interface is p2p1, so you can use command like "ip addr add 1:0:0:1::10 dev p2p1") 3a. Don't forget to configure this IPv6 address as hostname for box (let say, hostname is fedora15-vrt1, so at least /etc/hosts should contain "1:0:0:1::10 fedora15-vrt1") 4. Verify if you really have configured wanted eth. interface only aka: {code} [root@fedora15-vrt1 Documents]# ifconfig p2p1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:01 inet6 addr: 1:0:0:1::10/128 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:766 (766.0 b) [root@fedora15-vrt1 Documents]# {code} 5. Start EAP6 as usual bin/standalone.sh and wait until it says somethink similas as "[org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBoss EAP 6.0.0.Alpha2 (AS 7.1.0.CR1-redhat-1) started in 16179ms - Started 158 of 228 services (68 services are passive or on-demand)" 6. Check addresses binding via "netstat -lnp|grep java" The result it this scenario should be something like mine: {code} [root@fedora15-vrt1 jboss-as]# netstat -lnp|grep java tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4765/java tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:5445 :::* LISTEN 4765/java tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:9990 :::* LISTEN 4765/java tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:3528 :::* LISTEN 4765/java tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:9999 :::* LISTEN 4765/java tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:5455 :::* LISTEN 4765/java tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:4447 :::* LISTEN 4765/java [root@fedora15-vrt1 jboss-as]# {code} As you may see - poor binding is done to 127.0.0.1 IPv4 address, but anyway others are bound to IPv6 address ::ffff:127.0.0.1 although every log message refers to IPv4 address 127.0.0.1. The worst is that in case when you disable loopback interface at all (ip link set dev lo down) before starting EAP, the result is the same although IP address 127.0.0.1, nor ::ffff:127.0.0.1 doesn't exist (isn't active) in Linux system.
