Alan Conway commented on QPID-504:
----------------------------------

qpidd prints log messages to a configurable destination: stderr, file or 
syslog. However --print-port or suchlike options are exceptions and print to 
stdout. It's only likely to be used for development/debugging so it's not a 
problem.

> Both the C and Java brokers should behave in the same way and accept the same 
> command line options (where that makes sense). 
A fine aspiration, but it won't happen without significant effort on both 
sides. The easiest way to do things in each language is very different. qpidd 
uses boost::program_options for command line and config file parsing. It is 
farily flexbile if we ever do sit down and agree on this stuff.


> Dynamic port for automated tests.

> As development ramps up we will have multiple qpid builds on the same machine 
> clashing for use of the AMQP default port.
> All automated tests should use a *dynamically assigned* (i.e. bind(0)) port. 
> Allowing a manually specified port number for tests doesn't solve the problem 
> as there's no way to choose
> a port that is guaranteed not to be used by any other test on the same host.
> One way to do this:
> - add qpidd --print-port option to print the actual bound port
> - add qpid option processing to qpid client library, enable in all test 
> programs. 
> - test harness does "qpidd --daemon --port 0 --print-port" and sets the 
> printed port to QPID_PORT in env for all test clients.
