[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-1437) Unresolvable host name aborts server startup

[Darran Lofthouse (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1437?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12622408#comment-12622408 ] 

Darran Lofthouse commented on AS7-1437:
---------------------------------------

One thing to consider is that a default value would only make sense on standalone, for managed domain servers this name is used to register the host with the master domain controller so multiple hosts with the same default would fail.  

Alternatively maybe a random name could be generated but each time a host is started it would be assigned a new name so hard to track which host is which when managing.
