Okay..let me send you quick patch to get better idea of where exactly in the control flow the address which is picked up verbatim from domain.xml as127... gets converted to 169...
The stack trace simply indicates that the operation to bind the rmi object (jmx connector server) to the RMI registry running at 169...:8686 failed; which is obvious becase the registry is set to run on all IPs, but 169.. is not a valid IP anymore, so the call has to fail....but need to find out the cuase to pick up 169...also not sure of mac commands, but with ipconfig (equivalent) can you also attach that ouput.
