What's being logged there is the value that will be returned to naming clients trying to discover HA-JNDI via multicast autodiscovery. Here's how the value is derived: | String address = getBindAddress(); | /* An INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0 || null) address is useless as the value | sent to a remote client so check for this and use the local host | address instead. | */ | if (address == null || address.equals("0.0.0.0")) | { | address = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress(); | } | So, if you're starting with -b 0.0.0.0 it's going to try to use the default address for the host. Your machine must be configured such that that's the loopback address rather than some external address. Workarounds: 1) Don't use -b 0.0.0.0 2) Change your machine's network configuration such that InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() doesn't return the loopback address. 3) Change the HA-JNDI service's "BindAddress" config from ${jboss.bind.address} to some other system property and then use -D at startup to set that property to a non-loopback address.
