Cactus waits on the container by polling the URL, which is composed with the port, too. If I setup a JBoss on 9080 (for the reasons below), I have no means to tell Cactus that the JBoss started with the "startup" script should be "contacted" at 9080. Cactus will look for it at 8080 and obviously it will decide that the startup process failed, even if the startup was successful, but on 9080.
Therefore I have to be able to tell Cactus "I've manually taken care of the details and be so kind to look for the JBoss you are starting at _this_ port" About setting the port (aka configuring JBoss programatically on an arbitrary port): The method is different in 3.0.x and 3.2.x. In 3.0.x, there is a "tomcatX-service.xml" in deploy dir, that holds the Tomcat config element. Changing it will change the port, but it's rather complicated. JMX is also tricky, because the Web container is tightly bound. In 3.2.x , there is jbossweb-tomcat.sar, conatining in META-INF a jboss-service.xml rather equivalent to the above "tomcatX-service.xml". Same level of difficulty. In short, I see no easy way to reliably configure the port where JBoss's web container is listening and the config sould be done manually (short of duplicating entire "default" configuration and translating all occurences of "8080" into the value of cactus.port property). My 2c. Thanks for replying anyway.
