Re: How to figure what port is in use from a BindException

[Donald Woods]

Just a quick look at the JavaDocs, it seems that it's up to the code creating the exception to call new BindException(String) to provide the port in an exception message, instead of using BindException() with no details.

You could always start/attach to the server in Eclipse and add that exception as a breakpoint and inspect the code for the port being used....

I am wondering if there is anyway to find out the exact port number resulting in the exception from the exception itself.

    You can use a tool like netstat to check which ports programs are
    listening on at the moment and unusable by the server instance.
    netstat -anb
    You can find which ports the server instance will use by the
    config.substitutions.properties entries.

        Very often I run into Geronimo startup failure with a
        BindException since some port or the other is in use.  Then I
        change the PortOffset to get going.  How do I figure which
        port/address is resulting in the exception?
