Introduction
The purpose of this note is to make Tomcat and JBoss
co-existence in one system. If Tomcat
has been installed in your system and you wanted to install JBoss in the same
system, you may face some problems due to conflict of resources such as
ports. This note should help you solve
them.
Scenario: -
Let’s say, you have
installed JDK 1.4/1.5 and Tomcat 5.0/5.5 (on Port No. 8085) to deploy some
applications. Now, you want to install
JBoss 3.2.6 (on Port No. 8080) to deploy some other EJB application. You follow the normal procedure to install
JBoss. After installing, during, you may
face the following error:
11:59:03,017 ERROR [Http11Protocol]
Error initializing endpoint
java.net.BindException: Address
already in use: JVM_Bind:8080

org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.initEndpoint(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:264)

Solution: -
The search suggested me to
change the webserver Port Number from 8080 to Something-Else (for example,
8090). 8080 is a favorite port number
for a lot of different applications these days.
Please search the below mentioned files and replace 8080 to another
port, say, 8090 -
'...deploy/http-invoker.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml'
and
'...deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml'
After doing these settings restart the web server.
You may still face the following console message on JBoss startup: -
11:20:00,168 INFO [ChannelSocket] Port busy 8009
java.net.BindException:
Address already in use: JVM_Bind
This appears to be a known issue with JBoss. You can
read more about this in bugs.sun.com and bug_id=5098261
As per this information, it is not a bug.
Try the below links to ensure everything is fine:
http://localhost:8090
http://localhost:8090/jmx-console
Conclusion: -
Tomcat and JBoss
can co-exist by a simple configuration of port settings at appropriate places.
