Failed to get hostname on starting jboss - v.weird

[cmap]

hi
I'm having a problem getting jboss to see the hostname which is mad.
jboss 3.0.4 tomcat 4.1.12 jdk - tried a range of 1.4.1's and 1.4.2 still error.

on any startup I get -

15:43:11,994 ERROR [WebService] Failed to get localhost name
java.net.UnknownHostException: server.domain: server.domain
at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1191)

This is linux fedora core 3, selinux not active, no firewall on, everything on the one box.

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
x.x.x.x server.domain server

/sbin/ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:7F:7C:0B:4F
inet addr:x.x.x.x

/etc/sysconfig/network
hostname=server.domain

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
HOSTNAME=server.domain
IPADDR=x.x.x.x

its set in /etc/nsswitch.conf for
hosts files

everything always tallies yet it can't find itself....any ideas ?

Well it works as root. I guess its the way the call is performed (all the above can be read by jboss user) but i don't know more about it to fix....any thoughts ?

Had same problem. Solved it by setting the host name to localhost.
