Well our configuration for all releases of AS7, EAP and WildFly specifies:

  <interface name="public">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>

So unless 127.0.0.1 was somehow bound to a non-loopback interface I don’t think that is even possible.

I noticed that in WF 8.2 -b does just work (at least on the RHEL vms I tested). Does this mean that users can expect to see -b back in play (ie w/o need for config changes) for EAP 7?
