Hi All,
I was recently flabbergasted to find out that no Sun JDK 1.5+ supports
NIO sever support over ipv6 on any version of Windows (due to lack of
support for dual-mode sockets in the underlying Windows stack
implementation), and that the situation is only likely to be resolved
in the future in JDK 7 on top of Vista (refer
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6230761 ).
Hence my current understanding is that clients who want ApacheDS to
listen on an ipv6 socket at start-up will have to use a Unix variant
on which the JDK doesn't suffer this problem. Have I missed /
misunderstsood anything here, or is there perhaps another JDK
implementation with an enhanced NIO implementation (or some other
cunning technique) that may represent a "get out of jail" card for me
and my clients as far as pre-Vista Windows is concerned?
Many thanks.
You should be able to make it work using this flag to the JVM CL :
/-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true/
The server will now listen on an IPV4 socket at startup.
Hope it helps.
