Hi, yes I'm aware the check is no longer needed, in fact we dropped it in HSEARCH-860, where you can find a short explanation too [1].
So since v.4 it won't prevent IPv6 anymore. Versions 3.x are expected to be compatible with Java5 so backporting the same patch as HSEARCH-860 would not be the best option; the solution you propose to add a system property to give the user a "I know what I'm doing" option sounds great: if you could send a pull request I'll apply it, just keep in mind it's needed for 3.4.x only. 1 - https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HSEARCH-860 Sanne On 29 September 2011 18:41, Zachary Kurey <pushedbyt...@gmail.com> wrote: > The app I work on needs to bind to ipv6 addresses and to communicate with > other network nodes using ipv6.
