AvailablePortFinder behavior...

[Zigor Salvador <Zi...@tourgune.org>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the next available port for my acceptor.bind() operation but the AvailablePortFinder in org.apache.mina.util keeps returning the same port.

Application1 @ host -> int freeport = AvailablePortFinder.getNextAvailable();

freeport == 1024.

Application2 @ host -> int freeport = AvailablePortFinder.getNextAvailable();

freeport == 1024 !!!

I'm using MINA 2.0 RC1 and Mac OS X 10.6.4.

Thanks for any feedback,

Zigor.

Well, tested the AvailablePortFinder in a Windows 7 machine only to get an unknown Windows Sockets exception.

Finally managed to get what I wanted (a free port number) from the ServerSocket class itself:

ServerSocket socket;
socket = new ServerSocket(0);
socket.setReuseAddress(true);

int port = socket.getLocalPort();

socket.close();
socket = null;

So far it's working on Mac OS X and Windows 7 although it provides ports on the private/dynamic range.   :-/
