Problem:

When defining a new server in Server Express it is sometimes a requirement that the same fixed port be defined for the services.  Normally, each time the server is started, different ports are assigned to the services. Is it possible to define a web service in Net Express Enterprise Server that will always responds to the same fixed port?

Resolution:

Yes, it is possible to define a web service in Net Express Enterprise Server so that it will always respond to the same fixed port. Follow these simple instructions:

1. For the web service to be found, change the Enterprise Server web service listener to a specific port.

2. Stop the region

3. Edit the web service listener

4. By default the Endpoint address will be set to *:*, which means that the port is dynamically chosen.  To change to a specific port, change this default to *:nnnnn where nnnnn is the port on which the listener should listen.
