[Jetty-support] Re: Local Ports SocketEndPoints and Jetty6 - specifying port 0

[Greg W. <gr...@mo...>]

sorry to come to this conversation late....

I just added getLocalPort() to the connector API that will report
the actual port the connector is listening on.

I also too the opportunity to remove the use of SocketAddress as it
was preventing the BIO connector being used on older JVMs.

this is in SVN trunk now.

cheers
