What is the importance of jboss.bind.address

Question

What is the importance of jboss.bind.address? What if we bind to wrong address?

Can you explain me the meaning of this command:

nohup ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=${BIND_IP} >> ${JBOSS_LOG} &

Thank you for the response.

Answer 1

It tells JBoss which local address to bind to. The server will only listen on that specific interface, not on all local interfaces.

(e.g. if you have bind address set to 127.0.0.1, it will not listen to connection from other hosts, only on localhost.)

That command line just starts JBoss in the background and sends to output to $JBOSS_LOG.
