[wildfly-dev] WildFly Server IP Address and Port

[Brian Stansberry]

That JMX operation (or the CLI equivalent[1]) will return 0.0.0.0 which 
really is the bound address but AIUI isn't what's wanted.

If the server is configured to use 0.0.0.0, there is no single 
"WildFly.getHostAddress()". That setting means the relevant sockets will 
be listening on all available interfaces on the machine. Which of those 
is the one that's useful to a particular client depends on the network 
topology.

BTW, if you know the names of the nics in your target environment but 
don't know the addresses, WildFly (and EAP) let you configure the 
interfaces to use a particular nic. If binding to 0.0.0.0 is a 
workaround for not knowing the actual addresses, that may help. For example:

<interface name="public">
    <nic name="eth0"/>
</interface>

The 'name' attribute also allows expressions:

<nic name="${my.public.nic:eth0}"/>

With that kind of config, the JMX query Filippe showed will provide a 
regular address.

[1] The CLI op:

[standalone at localhost:9990 /] 
/socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=http:read-attribute(name=bound-address)
{
     "outcome" => "success",
     "result" => "0.0.0.0"
}
