Is there a way to bind qpid to a different IP other than localhost?

Question

I am just curious if there is a way to bind qpid to an IP such as 127.1.244.129

The reason I ask is I'm looking to deploy many instances to a PaaS and will need multiple running instances. This is not possible if everything tries to bind to localhost:8080.

Does anyone know of a wayt o configure this? I could not find in the qpid documentation.

This question was crossed posted to the Qpid developer mailing list and was discussed here. For the benefit anyone else with the same question, I will summarise the answer here.

For Qpid CPP Broker, for release 0.20 and beyond, use the --interface argument to qpidd.

For Qpid Java Broker, for releases 0.22 and beyond, you can restrict the AMQP port to a particular interface by specifying a binding address attribute in the port's configuration. Use the Web Management Console to edit the AMQP port and specify a binding address. Restart the Broker for the change to take effect. The Java Broker docs describes the process of editing a port. It is currently not possible to specify a binding address for the ports used by HTTP or JMX Management, though these plugins can be disabled if desired.
