Guys. It make sense to have a way to get an unused random port for embedded mode in testing cases. On a CI system, ie Jenkins, you could have many concurrents tests done at the same time, the only solution to get a free port is to discover it at startup time isn't it ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
