It is the address for the application server socket to listen on. The default value of 0.0.0.0 is the standard value that tells a socket to listen on all interfaces on the host. When you configured it to 127.0.0.1 you restricted your server to just the loopback interface, hence the inability to connect from anywhere external to the host.
This is typically useful when a host has more than one network interface and you wish to configure an application server to only accept connections on one of them. For example, you might have one interface that is externally facing and one that is internally facing and only wish to have your admin UI accessible to hosts on the internal network. Wayne.
