[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-8540) Modify AS 6 and AS 6 testsuite to work with IPv6 addresses

Richard Achmatowicz commented on JBAS-8540:
-------------------------------------------

38. Fixed up org.jboss.test.naming.test.NamingRestartUnitTestCase to use an autodiscovery multicast address based on IP stack selection.

This test case deploys naming-restart.sar which deploys several beans bvia naming-restart-jboss-beans.xml, one of which is 
RestartHAJNDI which makes use of a custom, hard-coded multicast address 230.9.9.9. Under IPv6, this multicast address will not allow
messages to be delivered and must be replaced by an IPv6 counterpart (say, ff0e::9:9:9)

Making a decision based on IP stack in the deployment of a bean oin the server side is not so easy at present (maybe service binding manager
can be adjusted to take into account IPv4 vs IPv6 addresses in future), so I defined a new ant system property jbosstest.naming.autodiscovery.mcast_addr which 
is set to either one of the two addresses above, based on the IP stack in place, and set up the test case to use that, modifying:

build.xml
NamingRestartUnitTestCase.java
naming-restart-jboss-beans.xml
imports/server-config.xml

> Modify AS 6 and the AS 6 testsuite to work with IPv6 addresses.
> The end result should be:
> (i) AS 6 boots cleanly with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
> (ii) the AS testsuite and its test cases run cleanly against IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
> This task does not aim to certify that AS 6 is IPv6-compatible or ready. Such a certification may require the development of additional test cases to verify specific features relating to IPv6. For a discussion of such issues, see https://docspace.corp.redhat.com/docs/DOC-47796.
> This work is a precursor to making AS 7 IPv6 compatible.
