Question

I am using JBoss 4.0.3 in a Windows environment. I would like to share the same HTTP port between two applications (JBoss and a stand-alone WCF application). HTTP.sys in Windows supports this (see this and this).

1. Is it possible to configure JBoss/Tomcat to only bind to specific URLs, instead of globally to the configured port?
2. Is it possible to configure JBoss/Tomcat to use HTTP.sys on Windows (effectively binding to specific URLs as in 1 above)?

Answer 1

I don’t think this is possible. Based on some research (aka, googling), I found this ancient discussion related to apache: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/apache/dev/266393.

Also, here, there is a vague reference tomcat not using it either:

“Since Tomcat does not use http.sys internally…”
