Bug#561928: tomcat5.5: Daemon is not listening on ipv4 ports

[Alan Chandler]

Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.26-5
Severity: important



Since the change to set net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1 in /etc/sysctl.d the tomcat daemon no longer listens 
on ipv4 sockets for connections.  A work around is to add "address=0.0.0.0" in the connection stanza in server.xml, 
but there seem to be other issues around connection pooling (applications fail with an exception - I will file a
bug against libcommons-dbcp-java) which may be an interaction with tomcat.
