JBOSS How to change the default HTTP port 8080

To change the default HTTP port 8080, you need to edit the “jboss-service.xml” (<jboss>\server\<application>\conf\jboss-service.xml). In your “jboss-service.xml” ,search for the mbean ServiceBindingManager. It will be commented by default. You can uncomment it. It is referring to a sample xml port binding file in the example folder ( ${jboss.home.url}/docs/examples/binding-manager/sample-bindings.xml ). You can either use this xml or copy it to another location and give that path in your “jboss-service.xml”. In the sample-bindings.xml, search for the <server name=”ports-01?> ( as given in your “jboss-service.xml” ) . In this “server name” , search for the “service-config” with <delegate-config portName=”URLPort”/> for the “type=HTTP” and change the port to <binding port=”8180?/> to use 8180 instead of 8080.
