APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: Connection issues can arise with a socket bound to an address returned by InetAddress.getLocalHost(). This is when InetAddress.getLocalHost() returns link-local address (169.254.*.*). This can especially when the system has multiple NICs. . Stack Trace: N/A .
Local fix
Use InetAddress.getAllByName(localhostname) to get the list of Inet Addresses and then pick one which is not a link-local address.
Problem summary
Following Windows 2008 SP2, getaddrinfo() Windows API sorts the Addresses and linklocal/APIPA address appears first now.
Problem conclusion
This defect will be fixed in: 6.0.0 SR10 6.0.1 SR1 7.0.0 SR1 . IBM Java's getLocalHost() is corrected to filter out the link-local addresses and return a non-linklocal address to the application. . To obtain the fix: Install build 20110921 or later
