Defining -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true when launching the JVM is probably your best bet in most cases.

All you need to do is create a custom class holding all of the configuration for your application, then add an object of your custom configuration class and an object of ##XWiki.Configurable## class. You will be able to configure your application from the administration interface. 243 243 The following is an image of the administration interface with additional applications to be configured (you can customize the icon used). 244 244
