Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: This problem affects customers who use the   *
*                 Embedded Messaging Server provided with      *
*                 WebSphere Application Server Version         *
*                 5.0.2.x.                                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Embedded JMS Server that ships      *
*                      with WebSphere Application Server       *
*                      Version 5.0.2.x uses a number of        *
*                      ports for all it's communication with   *
*                      the outside world:                      *
*                                                              *
*                      5557 - The JMS Server Security port     *
*                      5558 - The port used by the queue       *
*                             manager to listen for incoming   *
*                             requests                         *

*                      These ports are all bound to the        *
*                      TCP/IP address 0.0.0.0. This means      *
*                      that customers with single or multiple  *
*                      instances of WebSphere Application      *
*                      Server in multiple Network card         *
*                      scenarios would experience port         *
*                      binding failures.                       *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The problem here was caused by the fact that the ports used
by the Embedded JMS Server were never being bound to specific
TCP/IP addresses.
Problem conclusion
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 5.0.2.10. Please refer to the  Recommended Updates
page for delivery dates:

  
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/
    docview.wss?rs=180&context=SSEQTP&uid=swg27004980

After this fixpack has been installed, you will need to
carry out the following steps in order to bind the ports used
by the JMS Server to specific TCP/IP addresses:

- When the application server has restarted, bring up the
  WebSphere Administrative Console and login.
- Expand the Servers entry in the left hand tree view, and
  click on the Application Servers link.
- The Application Servers panel will now appear, containing
  a list of application servers. Click on the entry for the
  appropriate application server.
- In the next panel, click on the Process Definition link
  within the Additional Properties table.
- The Process Definition panel should now appear. Click on
  the Java Virtual Machine link.
- In the Generic JVM arguments field, enter:

     -Dcom.ibm.websphere.messaging.LocalHost=x.x.x.x
     -Dcom.ibm.websphere.messaging.useMultiHome=false
     -Dcom.ibm.websphere.messaging.ServerSocketQueueDepth=250

  where x.x.x.x is the TCP/IP address that ports 5557 and
  5558 will be bound to.
- Click OK, and save the configuration changes.
- Logoff the Administrative Console.
- Define the following system wide environment variable:
     AMQ_WAS_HOSTNAME=<the hostname of machine with
                       TCP/IP address x.x.x.x>
- Restart the Application Server.
