[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-4632) Enable Geronimo to support IPv6 addresses

["Shawn Jiang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12724915#action_12724915 ] 

Shawn Jiang commented on GERONIMO-4632:
---------------------------------------

Most errors I can see are in Tomcat when it trys to use the ipv6 address as a part of ObjectName.    That's because IPV6 address contain ":" which is not allowed as a part of ObjectName.

To fix this.  We should encode the ipv6 before creating ObjectName in tomcat.   Decode it back when needed.

> Currently, geronimo only accepts IPv4 addresses to function. For IPv6 addresses, such as "::", "::1", Geronimo does not provide support.
> Can we enable this in geronimo 2.2 release or certain future release? Thanks!
