Bug 998

Summary:	Wrong local host address determined on multihomed hosts
Product:	JacORB	Reporter:	Jens Vagts <jens>
Component:	ORB	Assignee:	Mailinglist to track bugs <jacorb-bugs>
Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	major	CC:	jacorb
Priority:	P5

Description Jens Vagts 2014-11-12 06:09:06 UTC

Due to a enhancement within jacorb 3.5 (see here: https://github.com/JacORB/JacORB/commit/bcb220ba117e5a4ce9978d8008ab173244975067) the order of IPv4 addresses deliverd by the system gets reversed!
Since the new logic uses addFirst() instead of simply add(), the last IPv4 address/network adapter gets the first in the resulting list. The as primary the method org.jacorb.orb.iiop.IIOPAddress.getLocalHost() uses the first address of this list (which is the last in the system).

Can you run ifconfig to show your OS config and also run org.jacorb.util.Diagnostic ?

===========================
As you can see: the order of adapters is reversed and the main issue for me: the primary/preferred IP address becomes a virtual network adapter resulting is corba objects bound to this wrong/internal address.

Thanks to Jens for lots of help debugging and running multiple custom builds to test the fix!
