RE: Tomcat running under OSGI is accessible only via 'localhost'

[Hrachya Mughnetsyan <hm...@egencia.com>]

Hi
We have a web-service which used to run under tomcat. Recently we converted it into OSGI bundle. Almost all existing functionaly runs fine with 1 exception:
Can access web-service ONLY through http://localhost/... and port 8080. These settings are embedded in catalina.start.osgi-6.0.16-SNAPSHOT.jar\conf\embedded-server-defaults.properties. It is possible to manually change the 'host' property in this file from 'localhost' to a machine name, for example. After this the service is accessible only through http://machinename/... I hope to find a solution that will make service accessible via localhost, machinename, fully qualified name, etc.- as in case with 'usual' tomcat installation.
I'd very appreciate assistance to find solution to these issues.
Thank you

That should be fixable.

It might help if you told us how the file
catalina.start.osgi-6.0.16-SNAPSHOT.jar\conf\embedded-server-defaults.properties
comes into play.

If this were a vanilla Tomcat configuration, you'd just make sure that
you had <Engine defaultHost="localhost"> and make sure your webapps
were all deployed into <Host name="localhost"> (note that the use of
"localhost" as the <Host>'s name is just a convention, and really has
nothing to do with a hostname per se).

I suspect you should be able to poke around in your OSGi bundle and
figure out how to modify things such that you don't restrict yourself
only to "localhost".
