[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-8540) Modify AS 6 and the AS 6 testsuite to work with IPv6 addresses

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Richard Achmatowicz commented on JBAS-8540: ------------------------------------------- The effects of these changes on the user of JBoss AS 6 - AS 6 can now be used with both IPv4 addreses or global IPv6 addresses Notes: (i) run.sh still includes a system property java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to force the use of an IPv4 stack (ii) to use IPv6 addresses with the AS when starting with run.sh, users need to edit run.sh to remove the IPv4 stack preference and supply the property java.net.preferIPv4Stack=false and java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true. This will force the use of an IPv6 stack with preference for IPv6 addresses when resolving from DNS (e.g. for localhost) (iii) the use of an IPv6 stack with IPv4 addresses is possible by coding java.net.preferIPv4Stack=false and java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=false. These are in fact the defaults when no system properties are specified. However, for AS 6, use of this configuration of stack and addresses leads to a known issue with promiscuous traffic (JBAS-8741). So for the time being, this ought to be avoided and the IPv4 stack used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
