[jetty-dev] Jetty server - java.net.BindException: Address already in us

[George Goglidze <george@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This is my first post in this mailing list. and I am sorry if I have chosen a wrong one. 

Please if so, direct me to the correct mailing list and I'll post there.

I have written a java application, which is using embedded jetty server.

It runs just fine on Windows system, but does not run on MAC OS X 10.8.3 (mountain lion).

It gives me the following exception:

891  [main] WARN  org.eclipse.jetty.util.component.AbstractLifeCycle  - FAILED SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:8080: java.net.BindException: Address already in use

I have the following code:

Server server = new Server(port);

SelectChannelConnector connector = new SelectChannelConnector();

connector.setPort(port);

connector.setThreadPool(new QueuedThreadPool(200));

server.addConnector(connector);

ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);

context.setContextPath("/");

// ERROR 404

context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new HttpDefaultHandler()),"/*");

// IMAGES

context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new ImageServlet()), "/img/*");

// OTHER STATIC CONTENT

context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new OtherServlet()), "/other/*");

// WEB COMPONENT

context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new webConfigMainMenuHandler(0,0)), web_rootFolder + "");

context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new webConfigMainMenuHandler(0,0)), web_rootFolder + "/main.html");

context.setErrorHandler(createErrorHandler());

        server.setHandler(context);

        server.start();

The exception is given on the last line: server.start()

I have already tried to run this using "sudo". So it's not permissions problem. 

Many thanks for your help,

George,
