IPv6: Invalid binding to IPv6 address when zone id identifier is specified
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-3041
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3041
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Server
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Beta1b
            Reporter: Pavel Janousek
            Assignee: Jason Greene
            Priority: Blocker


AS7 binds incorrectly in several cases when IPv6 address setting includes _zone id_ identifier. For ex. _::1%lo_ produces correct binding at all (_::1:3528_ too), but _fe80::200:ff:fe00:1%p2p1_ (link-local IPv6 address of network interface p2p1) produces binding to _:::3528_ (it's an issue).

Warning: In multiple homed servers (= server with several physical network interfaces/network cards) it is possible to have more than one network interface with the *same* IPv6 address (compare it to IPv4 world where this case isn't possible) - IPv6 link local address is unique only on link and so the setting needs to include network identifier (network interface name or its index) - every networked AS7 component has to accommodate this setting and produces correct binding.
