             Summary: Enable ability to expose Camel JMX service using IP address API
                 Key: CAMEL-8880
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8880
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: camel-core
    Affects Versions: 2.15.2
            Reporter: stephen hartley
             Fix For: 2.15.3


It would be very helpful to me if the camel API (Spring and Java) could allow to expose the JMX service either using the host name or using IP address.

This would mean a change to DefaultManagementAgent's logic for determining hostname in createMBeanServer method:

if (canAccessSystemProps) {
            try {
                hostName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
            } catch (UnknownHostException uhe) {
                LOG.info("Cannot determine localhost name. Using default: " + DEFAULT_REGISTRY_PORT, uhe);
                hostName = DEFAULT_HOST;
            }
        } else {
            hostName = DEFAULT_HOST;
        }

If the API passed down a request to use the IP then InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() should be called rather than getHostName().

The reason for wanting this is that my host has an underscore _ character in its name.  A java.net.MalformedURLException: Bad URL path: exception is (correctly) thrown by javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL when the looked up name is used to form the URL for the JMX service.  I know this is not a valid host name according to the various RFCs, but I have been unable to convince network administrators to change the host name.  If I used the IP instead then validation would pass and the JMX service would be correctly exposed.  

I would find it very helpful if the Camel API could expose an option to use JMX with host IP address as well as for the host name.

I would like to be able to configure something like this:

		<jmxAgent id="camelJmxAgent" createConnector="true" 
			registryPort="{{jmx.registry.port:1099}}" useIpAddress="true"  />


Thanks!
