How to change port numbers for Geronimo services Admin questions Jetty or Tomcat?

Running many Geronimo instances on the same machine can lead to port conflicts. You can assign new port numbers to services per Geronimo instance or disable them completely so they are not started up. Let's see what needs to be done in order to disable Geronimo services.

Let say you want to disable the ActiveMQ brokers. Their configuration in var/config/config.xml file is as follows (Geronimo 2.1-SNAPSHOT):

var/config/config.xml
    <ns2:module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/activemq-broker/2.1-SNAPSHOT/car">
        <ns2:gbean name="ActiveMQ.tcp.default">
            <ns2:attribute name="host">${ServerHostname}</ns2:attribute>
            <ns2:attribute name="port">${ActiveMQPort + PortOffset}</ns2:attribute>
        </ns2:gbean>
        <ns2:gbean name="ActiveMQ.stomp.default">
            <ns2:attribute name="host">${ServerHostname}</ns2:attribute>
            <ns2:attribute name="port">${ActiveMQStompPort + PortOffset}</ns2:attribute>
        </ns2:gbean>
    </ns2:module>

When you run Geronimo these services (gbeans) are shown in the Listening on Ports section at Geronimo startup:

$ ./bin/geronimo.sh run
Using GERONIMO_BASE:   c:\geronimo
Using GERONIMO_HOME:   c:\geronimo
Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: c:\geronimo\var\temp
Using JRE_HOME:        c:\apps\java5\jre
Booting Geronimo Kernel (in Java 1.5.0_14)...
Starting Geronimo Application Server v2.1-SNAPSHOT
...
  Listening on Ports:
       0 0.0.0.0   Derby Connector
    1050 127.0.0.1 CORBA Naming Service
    1099 0.0.0.0   RMI Naming
    2001 127.0.0.1 OpenEJB ORB Adapter
    4201 0.0.0.0   OpenEJB Daemon
    6882 127.0.0.1 OpenEJB ORB Adapter
    8009 0.0.0.0   Jetty Connector AJP13
    8080 0.0.0.0   Jetty SelectChannel Connector HTTP
    8443 0.0.0.0   Jetty SelectChannel Connector HTTPS
    9999 0.0.0.0   JMX Remoting Connector
   61613 0.0.0.0   ActiveMQ Transport Connector
   61616 0.0.0.0   ActiveMQ Transport Connector

The services in question are two ActiveMQ Transport Connectors listening to 61613 and 61616 ports.

To disable these two ActiveMQ Transport Connectors you need to disable ActiveMQ.tcp.default and ActiveMQ.stomp.default gbeans. Edit var/config/config.xml and add the attribute load="false" in their gbean definitions. Note the load="false" attributes of the ns2:gbean elements.

var/config/config.xml
    <ns2:module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/activemq-broker/2.1-SNAPSHOT/car">
        <ns2:gbean name="ActiveMQ.tcp.default" load="false">
            <ns2:attribute name="host">${ServerHostname}</ns2:attribute>
            <ns2:attribute name="port">${ActiveMQPort + PortOffset}</ns2:attribute>
        </ns2:gbean>
        <ns2:gbean name="ActiveMQ.stomp.default" load="false">
            <ns2:attribute name="host">${ServerHostname}</ns2:attribute>
            <ns2:attribute name="port">${ActiveMQStompPort + PortOffset}</ns2:attribute>
        </ns2:gbean>
    </ns2:module>

After the change, when you start up Geronimo it will show you that the gbeans are indeed not started.

$ ./bin/geronimo.sh run
Using GERONIMO_BASE:   c:\geronimo
Using GERONIMO_HOME:   c:\geronimo
Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: c:\geronimo\var\temp
Using JRE_HOME:        c:\apps\java5\jre

    2001 127.0.0.1 OpenEJB ORB Adapter
    4201 0.0.0.0   OpenEJB Daemon
    6882 127.0.0.1 OpenEJB ORB Adapter

You do need to be very careful with disabling Geronimo services as some other services can still rely on them and as far as the ActiveMQ services go the following exception might be thrown:
