Hello!
We are using embedded tomcat so we can ran a webapp directly from CD. A small Java app
presents a GUI and starts tomcat. A button on the GUI opens the system's browser on
http//localhost:port and the user can use the webapp. Even works on windows and Mac :-)
The not so prefect thing right now is that we have to pick a port number, like 12345 and hope
that it's not being used.
I've tried the following code, binding to port 0:
Connector connector =
embedded.createConnector((String)null, 0, false);embedded.addConnector(connector);
And it works, tomcat starts, and if I find out the port looking at netstat I can use the webapp.
What I haven't found out is a way to extract from tomcat the port number that the OS chose.
Is there a simple way to get it?
I'm also thinking of changing the default SocketFactory to a custom one which would give me the port number.
Is this a likely path?
Thank you all for any help you can give me.
PS: we're using tomcat 5.0.28.
