Description Pavel Buzek 2004-07-23 23:32:05 UTC

If the user adds multiple server installations
that all use the same port the IDE cannot
distinguish between them (as it uses http to
communicate with server). This leads to confusing
situation in Server Registry (server status and
start/stop actions do not know what server they
work with).

cosider this when designing new APIs

Comment 3 Sherold Dev 2006-05-26 10:01:11 UTC

I don't think this is really an issue. In most cases when user is using external
Tomcat, he is using instance running on the default port 8080 and since the
bundled Tomcat runs on 8084 there is no port conflict.

On the other hand, even if the two instances had different port, user can still
change the port manually in server.xml file and create thus the conflict - so
there is no point in trying to prevent it. More over, I can imagine scenarios
when user wants to have two instances of Tomcat with the same port registered in
the IDE.
