setting jboss bind address

[Louis Botterill]

Hi, by default jboss seems to bind to localhost. It uses the {jboss.bind.address} property for it's config. I need it to bind to a physical interface but when I start it in debug from the ide I'm having trouble setting it with a value it will obey.

Reading the docs it seemed I should be able to override the bind address using a jvm argument in the jboss server configuration, such as:

-Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0

but that seems to have no effect.

If I do the same, starting jboss from the command line with the -b flag - it works just fine, but then if I want to auto deploy / debug from netbeans it shuts down the already running jboss and starts a new one, this losing the setting I need.

Is this the right way to do it, is it a plain old bug, maybe the jvm options aren't being passed through perhaps?

thanks for any advice or assistance

Hi,

Try the --host 127.0.0.1 style syntax on the command line for jboss, to
paraphrase:

java org.jboss.Main --host YourHostIpAddrHere

Hope this helps,
Kurt

hi,

thanks for the help. Excuse my ignorance but how would I set that parameter so that it gets passed to the start script when Netbeans starts the app server?

I see in the server config I can pass additional JVM options, which is where I tried the system property but where do I set arguments to the launch script?

sorry if I'm being stupid, I just haven't seen where to set it yet

I am not sure what OS you are using but on lunix you just need to do:
run.sh -b <host-name>

I assume the run.bat will function the same way. Give it a try.

ok thanks. Yes run.bat and run.sh do function the same way in that respect and the -b option works fine in stand alone mode without any issue.

The problem I had with that is that, if I start jboss externally from the command line to pass that command line argument - when I come to launch my web app for debugging the IDE closes the running JBoss so it can start a new one - and this then loses the arguments. So my question was, were can I set that such that it's passed to the start script. I guess I could edit the start script but I'd rather not do this if possible.

That's the weird thing, the JVM options that are supposed to work (setting the properties) didn't seem to work for me

I'd much prefer that to fiddling with the start script really.

I might try again later, it really should work unless somehow the JVM args are lost and not passed to the jvm or something in the start script overrides them - which takes me back to the start of this posting really - why doesn't it work like I'd expect?

Because proper attention to detail, and quality was lacking, yet release
authority was granted to the netbeans build...

Louis,

Did you find the answer to your problem?? I would like to do the same with JBoss from Netbean. If you resolved it, please share your answer.

[snooze-g]

The solution is easy just rename run.bat for example to run-b.bat.
Create another run.bat file and put this line to it:
run-b.bat -b IPADDRESS

to be able to execute run.bat you need to put run-b.bat path to your PATH environment variable or just in run.bat specify full path of your run-b.bat.

ENJOY :)
