Hi all
I want to migrate my application from ipv4 to ipv6.
I am using Tomcat 5.5.7 running on my GNU linux with kernel version 2.6.18-164.el5.
While searching on the net I found that if your OS supports IPV6 (which is yes in my case) I don't need to do any
changes and tomcat 5.5 and later supports IPv6
I tried to opening home page of Tomcat in IPV6 format. Like follows
http://<ip>:8080/ - Opens Tomcat home page
Below 2 gives no network access message
http://::ffff:<ip>:8080 - Does not opens
http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0AF4:0070]:8080 - Does not opens
I tried to ping that machine with IPv6 format address. I got reply back
V:\>ping ::ffff:<ip>
Pinging <ip> with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from <ip>: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=63
Reply from <ip>: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=63
Reply from <ip>: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=63
Reply from <ip>: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=63
So this means my local machine(Windows 7) supports IPv6.
I tried installing Tomcat 6 on my windows machine and and tried opening link in IPV6 format
http://[::1]:8080 but it does not works.
Am I missing on anything else ?
I am searching on Net regarding this. If any one has and good link or document to share , please let me know.
