[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-49) mod_advertise sends (null) X-Manager-Address by default

mod_advertise sends (null) X-Manager-Address by default ------------------------------------------------------- Key: MODCLUSTER-49 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-49 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Beta3 Reporter: Paul Ferraro Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere Priority: Optional Fix For: 1.0.0.Beta4 By default, httpd.conf contains no configuration directives for the advertise module, yet advertise is enabled by default (i.e. ServerAdvertise default is On). With no other configuration, JBoss's advertisement listener receives multicast messages with the header: X-Manager-Address: (null):0 This is not very clean. If the advertise module cannot determine an advertisement address/port, then no multicast message should be sent at all (i.e. as if ServerAdvertise was Off), rather than sending a message with an invalid address. Since some kind of advertise directive is needed to indicate which address/port to use, why not default ServerAdvertise to Off?
