Hey,
To configure most our Geronimo services to bind to a specific network
interface the user sets the "ServerHostname" property. However, for
Corba services the user must also set "COSNamingHost", "ORBSSLHost",
and "ORBHost" properties. So, altogether the user must configure 4
different properties. I'm wondering if we can just get rid of the
"COSNamingHost", "ORBSSLHost", and "ORBHost" properties and just use
"ServerHostname" property for everything? That should make things a
little easier for the user.
Sounds good to me. I don't know why those corba-based Host properties
were separate from ServerHostname to begin with. I searched email list
and didn't see anything signficant, other than they were different.
I wonder if it would be best to have all of the host settings to be
seperately customizable, but default to ServerHostname. Something like:
ServerHostname=0.0.0.0
ORBSSLHostname={ServerHostname}
ActiveMQHostname={ServerHostname}
JettyHostname={ServerHostname}
...
Then customize the JettyHostname, when you want to alter the ip
address used by web container clients...
