Rob Walker commented on FELIX-2786:
-----------------------------------
Sounds like a useful addition to me - I'd be happy to see this patch committed
into the trunk if others agree with it's usefulness.
We added a feature to the old HTTP service to publish the randomly chosen port
via a service property. I forget whether the new Http Jetty service has this
feature, but if not then it'd also be needed to take advantage of this feature
so that detailed the selected port can be determined by other bundles.
> Allow HTTPService to pick a random free port in a given range

> Sometimes we cannot configure the used port for a HTTPService up front, so it
> would be nice to have the service select one itself; the chosen port would
> then have to be communicated to the outside world. Since it should not just
> select any random port e.g. for security reasons, it should be possible to
> specify a range as property.
> Marcel suggested a port config value along the lines of port="random" or
> port="pick-from-range(8000,9000)".
