Can't access JBoss AS 7 from remote machine

Question

I am running JBoss AS 7 on port 8080. I am able to access it from my local machine (http://localhost:8080). However I am not able to access it from another machine on the same network, e.g. http://192.168.1.104:8080 does not work. I have disabled the Windows firewall on the local machine. In fact, if I start a Tomacat server on the local machine at port 8080 it is easily accessible from a remote machine. So it is something about the JBoss server that is causing the problem. Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are running JBoss from an IDE there should be a checkbox that allows for remote web access. It is unchecked by default. In eclipse, double click on JBoss under the servers tab and there should be a checkbox labeled "Listen on all interfaces to allow remote web connections." under the Server Behaviour tab.

Answer 2

Start the server with -Djboss.bind.address=192.168.1.104 option

OR

add the server IP address in your standalone.xml

<interfaces>
  <interface name="management">
    <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
  </interface>
  <interface name="public">
    <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:192.168.1.104}"/>
  </interface>
</interfaces>

You can use 0.0.0.0 instead of 192.168.1.104 if you want to bind to all IP addresses.
