Hi!
I hope this is the place to discuss ideas about glassfish v3, here's one:
If the hostname (as returned by the hostname command) does not resolve
to the local host, glassfish can't start up, as you guys probably know
much better than I do.
Worse yet, under some circumstancens if you make a mistake in the
/etc/hosts file, like adding the row about your hostname twice, ping
`hostname` works, and
glassfish does not.
We run into this in about every other deployment, especially when
a box works fine in the lab, only to break when shipped to its final site...
I am sure there must be very good reasons for certain components to
look each other up by hostname, but maybe there could be a fallback to
localhost or some other communication method altogether?
Thanks for your time, splendid product, love it, love it!
