Well... I spent a few long hours the other day trying to figure out why I could not get J-Boss to successfully start on my new RedHat box at work. I kept getting a port is already bound exception for port 8080, the standard/default port for the web side of the enterprise server. Well, after some playing around with reboots, I noticed that if I stop Oracle (to save time on reboots), J-Boss would successfully start. So, naturally, I came to the conclusion that something in Oracle was commandeering port 8080! After some reasearch on google, I came across this article that explains why Oracle grabs this port and explains how to change or disable it. Well, since I'm not all that knowledgeable about the inner working of Oracle, and our DBA was not available, I decided to just change the default port of J-Boss. Once I did that, everything started up fine upon the next reboot.
