Bind to a specific IP address [message #775400]

I am trying to run Orion with the embedded jetty server binding to a specific port. I have added the following line to my orion.ini file (A.B.C.D replaced with an actual, reachable IP address, eg 127.0.5.2):

-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.http.host=A.B.C.D

Regardless of this property being set, it seems jetty always binds to 0.0.0.0, meaning the application is available over all network interfaces.

My requirements dictate that we must run the Orion server listening to only a specific IP address. Is this possible? Browsing through the source code would seem to indicate this property is honored but it does not appear to be making a difference. I am able to change the bound port readily via flags in the same file (-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.http.port=8081).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have created a bug report, but it won't let me post a link to it (haven't posted enough messages yet).

The bug ID is 368061.

It appears that the ConfiguratorActivator class does not support this property currently. I've added a suggested patch to the Bugzilla record that I created.
