JBoss 7 – Changing Port Number

As a system admin it is very important to identify the details of the running ports on a JBoss server. On some cases we need to change the port numbers since some other service may be running on that Port. This article tells you on how to change Port numbers in JBoss 7

Way -1

Change the port manually , the port details are handled on the configuration file ( for stand-alone the file is standalone.xml )

Go to $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml.

Open the file and search for <socket-binding-group>

The <socket-binding-group/> element contains all the details of the running process and the ports they run on. Change the port details here and restart the machine. It looks like this

<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
<socket-binding name="management-native" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.native.port:9999}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-http" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.http.port:9990}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-https" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.https.port:9443}"/>
<socket-binding name="ajp" port="8009"/>
<socket-binding name="http" port="8080"/>
<socket-binding name="https" port="8443"/>
<socket-binding name="remoting" port="4447"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-recovery-environment" port="4712"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-status-manager" port="4713"/>
<outbound-socket-binding name="mail-smtp">
<remote-destination host="localhost" port="25"/>
</outbound-socket-binding>
</socket-binding-group>

Way-2

Start the standalone server by passing the socket.binding parameter as

standalone.bat -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000

Way -3

Once the server is started , access the socket-binding URL using this link

http://<IP address>:<Port>/console/App.html#socket-bindings

and we can change the port details from here
