A bind name with an underscore character causes a java.net.MalformedURLException during startup. The sys admin doesn't want to change (correct!) the hostname, I don't really want to have to use the IP address. Java seems to have problems with hostnames that contain underscores: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6587184 Could the JBAS code be changed to work around this issue? Is that a really dumb thing to work around? Should I insist that the sys admin change the hostname? wdyt? Any and all comments appreciated. 2009-07-09 14:11:32,477 ERROR org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController](main) Error installing to Start: name=jboss.remoting:protocol=rmi,service=JMXConnectorServer state=Create mode=Manual requiredState=Installed | java.net.MalformedURLException: Bad URL path: _test/jndi/rmi://torrington_test:1090/jmxconnector | at javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL.validate(JMXServiceURL.java:348) | at javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL.(JMXServiceURL.java:208) | at org.jboss.mx.remoting.service.JMXConnectorServerService.start(JMXConnectorServerService.java:127) | View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4242626#...
