[teiid-users] Teiid host resolution change after the M3

Teiid uses host name resolution to figure out the bind address where it can open a socket to listen for the incoming JDBC and Admin connections. The host name resolution in Teiid has changed. See https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-1047 Previously, if user did not specify any bind address, Teiid by default used to resolve "localhost" to WAN or LAN address and tried to explicitly avoid the loopback (127.0.0.1) address. The new host resolution logic does not impose any preferences, it defaults to JDK class "InetAddress" behavior. This mimics the JBoss AS behavior. In most cases on individual's desktops/development stations this will resolve to 127.0.0.1. However, if the JBoss AS is started with "-b <host-name or ip>, then Teiid will also pick up this host name or IP and bind to that address. So, if you are installing Teiid on a different machine than the local, then please start it will correct bind address/host name, such that your remote JDBC client can connect to the server. Otherwise you will see "connection refused" exceptions upon connect. Let us know, if you have any questions. Thanks. Ramesh..
