When I open a socket in Java to send/receive data, I can do the following: // open socket dc = DatagramChannel.open(StandardProtocolFamily.INET6);
// set options ... // bind to IP. The SocketAddress comes from the network-interface using // NetworkInterface.getByName(networkIntf) dc.bind(socketAddress); But that's the theory. I use ActiveMQ to receive JMS messages and write the following: ActiveMQConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("system", "manager", "tcp://some_server:61616"); >From the preceding answer from SuoNayi, the following code should work: ActiveMQConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("system", "manager", "tcp://broker-ip:broker-port/local-ip:local-port?wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=120000 "); where the variable "local-ip" comes from the NetworkInterface.getByName(networkIntf) object. However, I can't find any documentation. I will try this code tomorrow. Further info is really appreciated. greetings Jan -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Best-protocol-network-interface-binding-tp4664240p4664435.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
