I tried the same source & properties with IPv 4 on Windows Vista, it works fine but not on IPv 6 on Windows Vista.
here is my jboss-ejb-client.properties
remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false
remote.connections=default
remote.connection.default.host=fe80::ed29:5b4b:37cc:d429
#remote.connection.default.host=192.168.2.109
remote.connection.default.port =4447
remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false
