query regarding Service Binding Manager on JBoss 5.x

[gopi1828]

I have doubt regarding starting JBoss with service binding manager i.e using -Djboss.service.binding.set

1. Is bindings-jboss-beans.xml the master file where in if we change any port number that will over ride the default port ie if server.xml has default http and https ports as 8080 and 8443. If we change these ports in bindings-jboss-beans.xml to 18080 and 18443 then irrespective of the ports given in server.xml does JBoss will list to ports defined in bindings-jboss-beans.xml.

If you look at bindings-jboss-beans.xml, you will see around lines 435-478 that there is an XSL transform that located the ports that have to bechanged in server.xml. Here is the locator for the http port:

<xsl:when test="(name() = 'port' and . = '8080')">

As you can see, this locator depends on the port value in server.xml being set to 8080. Thus if you change server.xml, the http port setting in bindings-jboss-beans.xml will be ignored.

Thx Peter.

So, starting from JBoss 5.x if we change ports in bindings-jboss-beans.xml then we dont need to change any of configucation or xml files to configure or change ports which are scattered across conf and deploy folders right.

That is correct - you shouldchange port numbers only in bindings-jboss-beans.xml.
