JBoss Web Server or JBoss Web Application Server is one of the pioneering Open Source Application Servers here on earth (I just don't know if they have this at planet Crypton). JBoss started to blossom a year before I decided to end the long journey of my college life (way back 1999). JBoss has been catering to numerous web applications all throughout this planet for years now. And one good thing about it is - it's FREE! - The best things in this cyber-life are free =)
Here are some tips/trivia about the bossy JBoss:
server.xml
The configuration file where we set the ports for different protocols is called server.xml. This file is located in [JBoss_Root]/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer folder.
The most widely used protocol in the World Wide Web is the Hyper-Text-Transfer-Protocol or HTTP. On the server.xml, it is initially set to the default port used for HTTP which is 8080, but you can change this to any possible available port. See example bellow:
< Connector port="8080"
address="${jboss.bind.address}"
maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
