There are two main possibilities:
- Sometimes karaf does not end after a test and hangs around. In this
case you should see the additional process. This does not happen too
often though
- After sockets are closed the OS blocks them for a while before other
applications can use them. See:
http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/Tech/addrinuse.html
The SO_REUSEADDR option can help if you are in control of opening the
socket.
So are you sure there is no process still running when the next test
starts? On which port do you see the error?

Hi there,
I use Pax Exam 3.3 for automated testing. Sporadically I get a
"Address already in use" exceptions because some of my ports (of
applications running inside the Karaf container) are still open from a
previous test.
I don't exactly understand why this happens, because I thought, once
one Pax Exam tests ends, and the container shuts down, the ports are
closed. No?
Have some of you experienced similar problems? What was your solution?
cheers,
F.
