port conflict (8082) with HtmlAdapterServer

[lsanders]

It appears that the HTML admin server (localhost:8082) does not report an error if that port is already bound to another application. I use netbeans for my java development, and it happens to set up a web server by default on port 8082 (Forte for java does the same thing).

Unfortunately, if you browse to the netbeans server, you get an empty directory listing with no indication that it is a netbeans hosted server. I thought I was looking at the JBoss MBean admin page, but I obviously couldn't find any of the information that was supposed to be there.

The solution is simple: configure one app or the other to use an alternate port. It took me several hours to discover the issue, and I thought this post might help someone in the future.

I had worked out the conflict but cannot find how to configure the htmladapter port ? I would have thought it was in the server.xml but I can't see it. Where should I be looking ?

I am using jboss 3.0..

(or alternately which server in forte is using the port, it doesn't seem to be refered to anywhere in its config either ?)

Thanks Colin

You will find the configuration in
META-INF/jboss-service.xml in the archive
deploy/jmx-html-adaptor.sar
