Hi,

I am using Jboss 5.0.1

JNDI lookup is failing for me if I use IPv6, though it works fine for same set of servers for IPv4.

I have this code to handle IPv4 and IPv6 URLs

if (host instanceof Inet6Address) {
      env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://[" + host.getHostAddress() +  "]:1099/");
} else {
     env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL,  "jnp://" + host.getHostAddress() + ":1099/");
}

This is the error I am getting

javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: [2001:db8:aaaa:0:214:4fff:fe9f:4
700]:1099 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is ja

Doese this open ticket indicate that IPv6 is not supported in Jboss 5.0.1?

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPAPP-2941

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBNAME-45

I can also see this closed ticket

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-6390

but again this ticket has following comment in it

Could not we add support for standard URL notation containing IPV6  address? E.g.:

jnp://[fec0::f101:21a:a0ff:fea0:d745]:1099

Some test cases in the testsuite rely on HOST:PORT notation. Thanks.

I wonder if I need to user URL

jnp://ipv6address@port

in place of

jnp://[ipvgaddress]:port

Thanks
