Better output for port conflicts during startup
-----------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-2242
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2242
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Affects Versions: 1.1
Reporter: Aaron Mulder
Fix For: 1.1.x
Currently Geronimo produces about 230 lines worth of error messages if there's
a conflict on the web ports during startup (e.g. as a result of Tomcat already
running on the same machine). Annoyingly, the "Address in use" message is kind
of concealed by the massive stack traces, and worse, it never actually says
which ports are the problem.
This will likely be the most common startup error. It would be great to detect
it and suppress the stack trace and instead emit a message along the lines of:
ERROR: Geronimo cannot start. Port 8080 is already in use. Please either shut
down the product listening on port 8080 or search for 8080 in
var/config/config.xml and replace it with another available port number.
