Not binding to localhost by default in jboss-head was: Re: [jboss-dev] Clustering bootstrap still taking a long time

[Adrian]

I've fixed this in head.
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4954

But I think the code in jboss-4.2 for the defaults for other
bind address is wrong.

It currently says:


      // JBAS-4119, set the java.rmi.server.hostname if not set
      if (System.getProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname") == null)
      {
         System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname", "127.0.0.1");
      }

This has two problems:
1) It doesn't set the other bind addresses
2) It doesn't necessarily agree with what the real bind address is.

In fact, it doesn't resolve the problem I'm seeing because
it doesn't set the jgroups.bind.addr property.

In jboss-head I've made the code:

      // Fix up other bind addresses
      String bindAddress =
System.getProperty(ServerConfig.SERVER_BIND_ADDRESS);
      if (System.getProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname") == null)
         System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname", bindAddress);
      if (System.getProperty("bind.address") == null)
         System.setProperty("bind.address", bindAddress);
      if (System.getProperty("jgroups.bind_addr") == null)
         System.setProperty("jgroups.bind_addr", bindAddress);

Dimitris, is there a reason why you didn't fixup all
the bind addresses (see the -b handling code) in 4.2?
