[200401051900] Change port number of internal http server. Execute a JSP. No entry will appear in monitor. If you change port number back to 8082, monitor will work. According to old test specification, this should be working also in NB 3.5, but I am not sure if it's true.
Above is true only for incremental deployment. If you change port number of int. http server, stop Tomcat and execute a jsp, new int. http server port will be used.
The reason this worked in the past was the server-side component of the monitor retrieved the port number itself by talking to a socket provided by the client-side component. Now, the port number is gotten from a filter init parameter. I'll reassign this to Petr for a question: is it possible to have the deployment descriptor reloaded during incremental deployment? If so, this one is yours. If not, we'll have to update the monitor spec, and maybe the trouble shooting section in the online help.
BTW, it's correct that the new behaviour was implemented in 3.5, so it stopped working in that release.
I think we could find a way to dynamically refresh the port number on the server - if it comes to worst, we can just restart the server after the port change. Or we could design a special request that would contain the message about the port change, and that would be caught by the filter. However, I am not sure if this is worth the effort - changing the internal port number is not a very common operation (most users don't know that there is any internal server). So I'd go down the docs change path.
Setting target milestone to Promo D, per previous comments.
Will not be done in Promo D, setting target milestone to Promo E.
TM -> 5.0
TM 5.0 -> TBD
making this a p4, since this use-case is not very common and no user has had problem with this as far as I know
