Re: [Wrapper-user] Starting application with pribileged port under Linux/Unix

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Thorsten,
This issue is discussed in detail on the following Feature Requst page:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=490806&group_id=39428&atid=425190

I had decided that this was not possible.  See above.

I will take a look at the commons daemon package and see how it works.

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/jsvc.html

Unless they are using a custom version of java.exe, to open the port 
before any
java threads are created then this is a chicken and the egg problem.  
That may
be what their jsvc binary is.   Will take a closer look.

Cheers,
Leif
