Hello,
I have the impression that overriding port/ host settings for group communication via binding-manager is still not possible. A posting going far back to 2003 ( http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=51400 ) mentioned a problem that is very similar to the one I face today in 2006 (unfortunately, the former author was not blessed with any reply from JBoss staff ...).
So, if I want to use XSLTConfigDelegate in the following fashion

<service-config name="jboss:service=DefaultPartition"
 delegateClass="org.jboss.services.binding.XSLTFileDelegate">
 <delegate-config>
 <xslt-config configName="PartitionConfig"><![CDATA[
 <xsl:stylesheet
 xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' version='1.0'>

 <xsl:output method="xml" />
 <xsl:param name="port"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match = "TCP">
 <TCP>
 <xsl:for-each select="@*">
 <xsl:choose>
 </xsl:when>
 <xsl:when test="(name() = 'start_port' and . = '7800')">
 <xsl:attribute name="port"><xsl:value-of select="$port" /></xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:when>
 <xsl:otherwise>
 <xsl:attribute name="{name()}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:for-each>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </TCP>
 </xsl:template>


 <xsl:template match="*|@*">
 <xsl:copy>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>
 </xsl:stylesheet>
 ]]>
 </xslt-config>
 </delegate-config>
 <binding port="${jboss.bind.port.clusterCom}"/>
</service-config>

I will end up with the same exception as my fellow in 2003 (partly quoted):

12:34:06,842 WARN [ServiceConfigurator] Failed to apply service binding override
javax.management.AttributeNotFoundException: Attribute 'PartitionConfig' found, but it is not readable
at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.getAttribute(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:319)

at org.jboss.services.binding.XSLTFileDelegate.applyConfig(XSLTFileDelegate.java:88)
at org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager.applyServiceConfig(ServiceBindingManager.java:255)

Does anybody know how to do a work around? One idea would be to declare this Attribute 'PartitionConfig' readable - I learned from http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=51400 that this causes a problem for jmx-console. However, I am not using this console at all, so how could I change the access rights for this attribute?

Thanks a lot,
Thomas
