You assume wrong: "-h localhost" triggers a connection over IP, not
over UNIX sockets. Specifically, it's going to match the pg_hba.conf
line that mentions 127.0.0.1.
At this point I think your problem is that your JDBC setup is trying
to connect to your machine by name, not by the "localhost" alias,
and this results in a connection via your current network IP address
rather than the 127.0.0.1 loopback address. Since you have an entry
in pg_hba.conf for 127.0.0.1 and not the other address, only the
localhost address will work.
