For actors written in Java, the port name is defined in Java code. If you rename it after it is constructed, and then save it, then when you reopen the model, the Java code will construct a port with the original name, and the MoML file will specify another port with the new name. The Java code will use only the first port.
If you must change the name of a port defined in Java, then you must do it in the Java code. Otherwise, you can define an actor that does not create a port in its constructor, and instead rely on the MoML to create the port.
