Jboss-4.0.5 port binding problem

[baileyc]

I am attempting to use a port-bindings.xml file to run multiple jboss instances on a single server, but find that the bindings appear to be not being used by jboss, with no errors being reported, and the server starts perfectly ok but using the default ports.

I would appreciate any asisstance, have I overlooked anything?

I start jboss with the standard default server configuration with the additional following definitions on command line:

-Djboss.bind.address=localhost -Djboss.portbindings.config=ports-01

The jboss-service.xml has the following definition:-

<mbean code="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager"
 name="jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager">
 <attribute name="ServerName">${jboss.portbindings.config}</attribute>
 <attribute name="StoreURL">${jboss.server.config.url}/port-bindings.xml</attribute>
 <attribute name="StoreFactoryClassName">
 org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory
 </attribute>
 </mbean>

The boot log shows the port-bindings.xml file being picked up and what appears to be the correct ServiceName

10:46:23,602 DEBUG [ServiceCreator] About to create bean: jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager with code: org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager
10:46:23,628 DEBUG [ServiceCreator] Created bean: jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager
10:46:23,630 DEBUG [ServiceConfigurator] ServerName set to ports-01 in jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager
10:46:23,632 DEBUG [ServiceConfigurator] StoreURL set to file:/jbosssandpit/server/default/conf/port-bindings.xml in jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager
10:46:23,634 DEBUG [ServiceConfigurator] StoreFactoryClassName set to org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory in jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager

The problem ocurrs in that although the ports have been changed in the xml file, jboss still appears to use the defaults
