The problem mentioned in question was due to port conflicts between caTissue and caArray. This issue is not specific to caArray since other applications using JBoss server might have the same conflict with caTissue Suite. This conflict will arise only if the following two conditions are both met: (1) a user installs caArray or other caBIG application first then installs caTissue; and (2) the user changes the ports for caTissue manually and one of the ports for caTissue was already used by caArray or the other caBIG application.

How to avoid the port conflict

Following options could be helpful to avoid the potential port conflict among the different applications installed:

Option 1: Keep the default port settings of the applications

If a user kept the default setting of the ports regardless of the order of the installation, caTissue Suite and caArray would install without problems.

*Option 2: Install caTissue first, change caTissue's default Port settings, and install caArray *
caArray installer can detect the port availability on the server. If user needs to use different port numbers other than the ones picked by the caTissue installer, user needs to first install caTissue, modifies its default port settings, and then installs the caArray application using a set of ports that are not used by caTissue.

Option 3: Use only the available port
If any port number has to be changed after the installation of both caArray & caTissue, user will need to make sure to use a free port number by verifying the port availability.

How to check the port availability on the server?

User may check the availability of a port number with the netstat command below:

• For a Linux/Unix/Mac environment:

For example, use netstat ano | grep <<portNumber>> for each required port (replacements for one or more of the following 8080, 8009, 8443, 8083, 1099, 1098, 4444, 4445, 8093, 0, 1100, 1162, 3528, and 3529). If a process is listening to a customized port, choose another port and retry netstat until no conflict is returned. Use the final list of the customized ports to deploy caBig tools.

• For a Windows environment, using netstat command below to return all the port numbers that are already been used:

How to reconfigure the port number to solve the port conflict

Procedure below shows how to re-configure the JBoss 4.2.2.GA for caTissue 1.1 Suite from 3XXXX ports to 5XXXX ports to avoid collision with caArray 2.2.1:

1. Change file jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\all\conf\jboss-service.xml, by updating the following ports

2. Copy the above updated file in jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\conf\

3. Change file jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\all\deploy\cluster-service.xml, update ports for

4. Open file jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\all\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\server.xml and update ports for

5. Copy the above updated file in jboss-4.2.2.GA \server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\

6. Open file jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\all\deploy\httpha-invoker.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml and update ports for

7. Open file jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\deploy\httpha-invoker.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml and update ports for
