Hi,

I've started using the beta 1 of the xmlrpc server with our software (before we used 
version 1.1). First I've found out that the constuctor of WebServer does not throw an 
IOException anymore and that a JVM_Bind exception is thrown after calling the start 
method of the WebServer when the requested port is already occupied (after ten 
attempts). Then I thought of moving our code for retrying/scanning for a free port 
next to the code calling the start method, but because the WebServer thread is already 
started, catching the exception is not that easy. From my point of view it would be 
easier for the user of the WebServer if the constructor throws the exception again and 
a setPort method is added to the WebServer. Do you think this is possible or are there 
other side effects?

Thanks,
Hanno
