[To Dan Poirier] I need to go to Websphere to hit the service and that requires the port 9080, hence I do that... but this should work and return the error message I think since the http server is linked to the Websphere through the plugin... someone correct me if I am wrong.
As for changing the port plugin-cfg.xml to something not listening, I am not sure how to do that. Do you change something in the plugin.xml file, or within the Websphere admin console?
