Re: [wtp-dev] questions on local/remote support for generic server adapt

Hi Max,

Thanks for your response.  If I understand it correctly, it sounds like 
you want to keep the ability to enter something other than localhost in 
that field, but that something is another name for the local host.  Is 
that accurate?  If so, your pointer to the isRemote and isLocal code was 
helpful, but leads me to ask my next question:

There is a method isLocalHost in 
org.eclipse.wst.server.core.util.SocketUtil which seems like it should 
be used for this exact purpose.  It seems like the field could remain 
editable, but that the framework should enforce isLocalHost returns true 
for any changes.

Do you agree?  If so, I will file it.  If not, please tell me what 
usecase I have missed.

Thanks!
Rochelle
