Web container port configuration

[julien_viet]

Altough ARQ does not integrate with Maven directly (as it's using rather JUnit), I would like to know if there is a way to specify the port for the web container to use from the maven runtime.

For example it could be a system property set in the surefire plugin that would be used in a portable manner by ARQ. The use case is that currently we have issues in our build factory because of conflicting port.

We use the Jenkins Port Allocator Plugin that reserves a port that is then used by Maven to solve this issue, but now we don't know how to propagate this port to ARQ containers. We do use embedded containers (tomcat/jetty/GF) and managed container (for AS7 since embedded does not seem to be maintained anymore).

Hi Julien,

I think this improvement shipped with 1.0.2.Final should help you  https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-921

Cheers,

I am more looking for something universal and simple like:

-Darquillian.port=8080

that would work equally well on all containers.

Ok, I see. For the time being I believe it's not unified. But still you can refer to such property in arquillian.xml for each an every container you use (if port configuration is exposed through configuration). A bit more verbose but should work.
