Wildfly AS bind to domain for remote connections

Question

I have a Wildfly AS setup with a HorentQ deployed on it for JMS between two standalone applications.

The AS is running on my raspberry pi 2, I have the IP address of the pi set up in my standalone-full.xml

 <interface name="management">
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}"/>
    </interface>
    <interface name="public">
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:192.168.1.6}"/>
    </interface>

This allows me to access the Wildfly AS From any other machines within my network using String PROVIDER_URL = "http-remoting://192.168.1.6:8080";.

Currently I'm trying to access the AS from outside my network using a personal domain myurl.com that comes in on port: 80 and points to the port I have Wildfly setup on: 8080.

I have no problem accessing the management interface from a browser because I have the management binding setup as: bind.address.managment :0.0.0.0

But if I try to use myurl.com in my applications

String PROVIDER_URL = "http-remoting://myurl.com"; it fails:

SEVERE: Failed to connect to any server. Servers tried: [http-remoting://myurl.com (java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: connect)]

I can't change: <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:192.168.1.6}"/>

to: <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0}"/>

Because then the netty connection will try to bind to that address and fail, as discussed in an earlier question

I also cant set the binding like this:

<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:http://myurl.com/}"/>

So how do I allow remote connections to my Wildfly AS using: myurl.com

I should have stuck with this a little longer before asking this question, I wont take it down though as it might help others.

The solution was quite simple, I left all my configuration as was and simply appended :80 to the end of the String

String PROVIDER_URL = "http-remoting://myurl.com:80";

Connected straight away.
