Description

This is caused by a Java bug. The default socket listener created by the factory grabs the local host name.

A fix would be to create a custom socket factory that pulls that host name from an appliance property:

For future reference, this is a tricky issue. Java's RMI system tells clients, in-band, what hostname to use when connecting to services like JMX. Before this patch, Mirth Connect was coded to use "localhost". However it appears RMI attempts to resolve the system's hostname to an IP and use that. Or some combination, perhaps if one or the other is "localhost". This commit and setting jmx.host seems to override the hostname resolution mechanism. Previously, I would use -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=x.x.x.x to override this. This commit seems to do the same thing.
