Cannot create fabric in JBoss Fuse 6.1 Beta on Windows 7

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Fuse 6.1 beta build 362
  • Windows 7
  • Java 7

Issue

I unzip the JBoss Fuse 6.1 beta build 362 distribution and try to create Farbic.

$ fabric-create

Unfortunately I see the following exception.

Resolution

Java 7 uses IPv6 networking as a default. Java 7 socket client on Windows 7 tries to use IPv6 connectivity, which fails to connect to the ZooKeeper. You need to switch the Fabric Java client to use IPv4. In order to do so, set the following line in the KARAF/bin/setenv.bat file:

SET KARAF_OPTS '-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true'
