Which web connector port settings will be used when the Service Binding Manager and JBoss Web's server.xml are both modified in JBoss EAP 5?

Issue

• Say you want to modify the AJP port (default 8009), and there are two places you can change ports: ServiceBindingManager and inside jbossweb.sar. How does JBoss decide which sets to use?

  • $JBOSS_HOME/server/$INSTANCE/conf/bindingservice.beans/META-INF/bindings-jboss-beans.xml
  • $JBOSS_HOME/server/$INSTANCE/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml

• I changed the port in server.xml for http from 8080 to 8081 and the change took effect. I expected values in server.xml to be ignored, as ports are injected by the ports binding file.
