Bug 985

Summary:	Missing config parameter OAIAddr leads to an only locally working IOR

Description Christian Bindseil 2014-05-21 13:05:53 UTC

In Bug 984 Nick Cross asked me to open a new ticket for an issue we discovered while trying jacorb 3.4:

After starting the server our client can only connect when it's runnig on the same machine. 

While debugging jacorb I found out, that the IOR-File written by the server does not have the same contents as with jacorb 3.1: now we are missing the value for "host", it is empty. 

This fact leads to the assumption that the error happens on server side. There I found out, that the property "OAIAddr" is used to determine the local IP-address of the server. In IIOPAddress.init_host() there is a check source_name.length()==0 (it is in our case "") which sets the host=null to indicate a wildcard listener (see code-comment). This value of null seems to be the cause of the empty host-parameter in the IOR. The wildcard-idea is working only on localhost. 

After adding OAIAddr=<real IP of the Server> ist works. But this isn't a good solution and also not a well documented change in behavior. And it is unnecessary on an non-multihomed system. 

Could you please fix this issue so that jacorb behaves like before when OAIAddr is not defined? Thank you!

Comment 1 Nick Cross 2014-05-21 15:17:39 UTC

Would it be possible to try GIT head as there have been a few fixes in this area?

Comment 2 Nick Cross 2014-05-21 16:29:03 UTC

Could you also clarify your server settings - e.g. what properties are you setting (e.g. OAIAddr etc) ?

Could you print the output of running "jaco org.jacorb.util.Diagnostic" ?

Comment 3 Christian Bindseil 2014-05-22 12:02:47 UTC

If you can provide the GIT head as JAR-files, we will try.

Here are the informations you have requested... I censored some things for security reason and replaced them with a comment in <>.

Thank you for providing the jar-file by email. With this version the bug has disappeared.

Closing as resolved as works with 3.5-SNAPSHOT
