I'm using JBoss 4.0.1sp1 and j2sdk 1.4.2-10 on Windows XP. When I start JBoss using "run -b 192.168.0.1" (I get the same error without the -b option) I'm getting the following error:
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to server ${jboss.bind.address}:1099 [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect to server ${jboss.bind.address}:1099 [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: ${jboss.bind.address}: ${jboss.bind.address}]]
The following code...
System.out.println("Context.PROVIDER_URL: "+servletContext.getInitParameter(Context.PROVIDER_URL));
... prints...
2006-08-23 17:46:20,763 INFO [STDOUT] Context.PROVIDER_URL: jnp://${jboss.bind.address}:1099
In the boot log I see...
17:44:14,648 DEBUG [ServiceConfigurator] BindAddress set to 192.168.0.1 in jboss:service=Naming
... and the code...
System.out.println("jboss.bind.address:"+System.getProperty("jboss.bind.address"));
... prints...
2006-08-23 17:46:20,763 INFO [STDOUT] jboss.bind.address: 192.168.0.1
I assume I have a configuration error somewhere because I just redeployed the ear without changing any code that could have caused this. I've run into this before and I ended up deleting JBoss and started with a clean install. I'd prefer to know how I messed up JBoss to get the ServletContext to use the literal string "${jboss.bind.address}" instead of the real address.
