Raising JBoss ports on one particular ip-addess

[kbk]

Hi,

Env:
JBoss 3.0.8
Linux Redhat Enterprise 3.0

All our nodes in the production environment have mutiple ip-addresses. When JBoss starts it raises all the ports (1099, 8080, 8083...) on all available ip-addresses. This is not what we would like. Is it possible to configure JBoss to just raise the ports on one ip-address, and if yes how do we do it?

This feature was added in jboss-3.2.3
you can start jboss with run.sh -s <ip-address>

Before that version you had to go through all the services and configure a

<attribute name="BindAddress">ip-address</attribute>

on each service (sometimes it is not called BindAddress).

Ok Adrian,
I'll try. You wrote:

do you know what it might be called if not BindAddress?

grep the 3.2.3 configuration for jboss.bind.address and you will find them all

I have the same problem, so i tried to see where jboss.bind.address is defined, but I only found places where it is used, but none where it is defined.

Moreover, the -s <ip-address> option is only usable under Linux (run.sh), but under Windows run.bat doesn't like it.

It is the same as

run.bat -Djboss.bind.address=<ip-address>

It is the same as

run.bat -Djboss.bind.address=<ip-address>

I'm on Linux and even without jboss.bind.address set JBoss only binds one IP address. I want it to listen on all interfaces. Here is netstat -at:

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:1098 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21222/java
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:1099 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21222/java

Apache on the other hand looks like this:

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 27147/httpd

I tried setting jboss.bind.address to "" in run.sh but nothing changed.

Anyone?
