Package: openjdk-6-jre
Version: 6b17~pre3-1
Severity: normal
The default value of /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only has recently changed from 0
to 1 which has broken most Java network related code (both in sun-java and
OpenJDK)
For example creating a client socket will fail (before even connecting it) when
bindv6only=1.
Compile and run this test case.
----- start of Test.java
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
new java.net.Socket("localhost",22);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
----- end of Test.java
With bindv6only at default value of 1
$ java Test

Change the value of bindv6only back to 0
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
and now
$ java Test

runs without error.
