Phlogiston, I've tested the example under windows with both tomcat and glassfish 2(v1 I think but I cannot tell you right now) with this simple configuration in ftpd-typical.xml:
<server xmlns="http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/spring/v1"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/spring/v1 http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/ftpserver-1.0.xsd " id="myServer"> <listeners> <nio-listener name="default" port="2121"> </nio-listener> </listeners> </server> This works for me with no tweaking at all, just right click on the project and select undeploy & deploy. Can you try running with that config? Of course you won't be able to log in but you should be able to connect to port 2121. If it doesn't work please stop glassfish and try to deploy the app to Tomcat. There is a chance that there is a bug in latest Glassfish (v2ur2 ) running on windows for I've seen some problems similar to this one: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel At the time I came across that issue, I thought I had to reinstall Glassfish or check for firewall issues. You may deactivate windows firewall for this test so we discard possible unrelated problems. So can you please run the example with that xml and check glassfish logs (netbeans' output tab) for some error related to NIO ? 2008/10/20 Phlogiston Eight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Thank you for posting that example of a servlet-context listener-based > launcher for FTPServer within Spring.
