Description

In order to have the AMQ client run on OpenShift the IdGenerator call 'new ServerSocket(0);' needs to be configurable to be avoided. OpenShift only allows binding to a specific, provided, unique loopback address and a limited set of ports. Ideally there would be a configuration option that allows the stub prefix to be set via a JVM param. The current logic doesn't break OpenShift as the PermissionDenied exception is caught and swallowed but the stack trace is ugly.
