I am having trouble changing JBOSS AS 6 to listen on the IP address instead of local host

[tapper74]

I have changed the ports-default in the binding manager using the JBOSS admin console but I can still only connect using localhost.

So, I also attempted to update the WebServerHttpConnector in the Service Binding Manager. I changed 8080 to 80 easily, but each time i put the IP address in the hostname field and then save, it never takes (i restart JBOSS each time as well). It just keeps stating that it is not set.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Also I know I can use run.bat -b 0.0.0.0 to bind to all IPS but I have JBOSS on a windows box runing as a service.


The service is defined below:

"C:\jboss-6.0.0\bin\jbosssvc.exe" -r JBAS60SVC"

Can I change it to: "C:\jboss-6.0.0\bin\jbosssvc.exe" -r -b 0.0.0.0 JBAS60SVC" ? Thanks

No, that will not work. Instead, edit the service.bat file where the app server gets started and add the "-b 0.0.0.0" there.

Sweet. It works thanks. Is this any where in the jboss 6 documentation? I couldn't find it - perhaps we could add it it? Or make the other post a sticky or something. Anyway, thanks dude.

Not that I know of, but it is in JBoss in Action (section 15.6.2). JBoss in Action is specific to AS 5.x, but some things still apply.
