I have a Grizzly application that I'm trying to deploy to AWS using Boxfuse. The Grizzly server is started like so:
String instanceIP = System.getProperty(BOXFUSE_INSTANCE_IP)
String port = System.getProperty(BOXFUSE_PORTS_HTTP)
String BASE_URI = "http://" + instanceIP + ":" + port;
System.out.println(BASE_URI);
final ResourceConfig rc = new ResourceConfig().packages("com.homer.web");
GrizzlyHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(URI.create(BASE_URI), rc);
This all works fine locally (I see my 'Hello World' page if I go to http://localhost:8080) but when I push to AWS I get this Grizzly error:
i-620cd2df => http://52.58.25.146:8080

I don't know if I'm supposed to do anything differently for the AWS version but I thought the point was I wouldn't have to. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
On AWS for single-instance applications BOXFUSE_INSTANCE_IP contains the Elastic IP of the application for that environment. On instance bootup it still belongs to the old version of the application (if any) and only gets assigned to that instance once the healthcheck has passed.
