JBoss AS 7 not accepting remote connections

Question

I am using JBoss AS 7 and trying to connect to my application using the IP (from a computer in the intranet). It is not working. If I test from the computer which has the server I can see the system running if I go through localhost (http://localhost:8080/MySystem....) but not If I try with the IP (http://:8080/MySystem....).

Any help?

Answer 1

The answer is to edit standalone.xml and insert the tag any-address instead of inet-address bound to 127.0.0.1

<interfaces>     <interface name="management">         <inet-address value="127.0.0.1"/>     </interface>     <interface name="public">        <any-ipv4-address/>     </interface> </interfaces> 

Answer 2

I changed the 127.0.0.1 (localhost) to 0.0.0.0 in standalone.xml. It works. Just be aware of the security.

<interfaces>     <interface name="management">         <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}"/>     </interface>     <interface name="public">         <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0}"/>     </interface>     <!-- TODO - only show this if the jacorb subsystem is added  -->     <interface name="unsecure">         <!--           ~  Used for IIOP sockets in the standard configuration.           ~                  To secure JacORB you need to setup SSL            -->         <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:0.0.0.0}"/>     </interface> </interfaces>
