Yes it does if you expose EJBs through the virtual host interface. On the
other
hand, you may only want HTTP exposed as most security geeks have a hang
up about only allowing incoming HTTP through the firewall. Other resources
may need to be exposed as well: JNDI, JMS, JavaMail, etc.

I see this as more of a MBean(deployer) configuration rather than an
application
configuration because in general there are a number of administrative issues
associated with the interface: routing, firewalls, encryption...
So the deployer is configured based on the virtual host accessibility.

Yes.
