JBoss AS 6 - configuration without using ports

[kaneeec]

Hi, I would like to configure JBoss to run without all the ports, because I don't want to control the server's instance remotely - just start it a then kill it with SIGKILL. I need this to run multiple JBoss instances on one system and if the ports are set, I have a collision.

I was able to stop RMI ports but I still have ports for transaction enabled and I can't get rid of them.

The JBoss server need some ports for commuication, there is no option for such 'stealth' mode.

There are three options to solve.

1)

Use the binding manager (configuration depends on the version you have)

to set different port settings.

2)

Bind the JBoss with the startoption '-b <IP>' against a different virtual IP address

In this case the system must be confgured also!

3)

remove all unneeded services

but in this case some services might be left and you have to use 1) or 2) additional

Note that 127.b.c.d. signifies a whole range of virtual IP addresses, so '-b 127.0.0.2' would also work.

The problem is that I don't want to setup ports/virtual ip for every instance of the AS. Back at JBoss 4, I used the same configuration for every instance - no changes and no ports collisions.

That I can't understand.

The IP binding and ports will work in the same manner nevertheless whether you use JBoss 4,5 or 6.

So in fact you must do something different.

But I haven't done the JBoss 4 configuration. I just got the final archive with preconfigured instance. I tried to copy the configuration somehow, but it didn't work so I'm looking for a solution how to do this.
