Web container in JBoss 6 and other queries - jboss

What is the default web container in JBoss 6? If what I read was correct, the answer to this question should be JBoss Web (the custom built web container based on Apache Tomcat).
Am I correct in understanding that JBoss 6 completely supports the Servlet 3.0 specification?
I want to make my web application deployed on my machine in JBoss 6 accessible to other machines on my network (LAN). How can I do this? Will passing -b 0.0.0.0 as a start argument suffice? What if I want to make my application accessible all over the internet (I don't really want to do this, but I am interested in knowing how)?

yes
yes since milestone 2
yes, -b 0.0.0.0 -- all over the internet: have your router forward port 80 or 8080 to your machine running AS 6

Could not start GlassFish Server4.1 HTTP or HTTPS Listener port is occupied while server is not running ON A MAC

Could anyone shed some light on this? I have watched a few YouTube videos with the same problem but all solutions are based on Windows. How could I fix this on a Mac? I'm pretty sure I have no other servers running.
Thanks
see error image from netbeans
This means that there is another application using the ports the Glassfish requires. Use the command
lsof -nP -iTCP:$PORT | grep LISTEN
to list the what ports are in use along with the process ID of the process using the port. Glassfish requires ports 4848, 8080 and 8081 to be free. One app that sometimes causes port issues is vnc, so check if you have screen sharing turned on and try disable it if that is the case.

Can you configure the port on wildfly for microprofile-health endpoint?

The standard behaviour for wildfly-17 (and 18) with microprofile-health-smallrye is, that the /health endpoints are published under the management port.
Is there a way to configure it to use a different port?
That behaviour is difficult in some situations (with docker and kubernetes) to open up the management port completely, and make it accessible, for other "machines" than localhost.
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel
Jeff Mesnil answered my thread on the wildfly-user chat -> It is not possible to run health endpoint on application port. WildFly only expose them to the managment port.
Whilst I could not find a direct answer I did have a similar issue myself and implemented a solution.
I added the flag Dswarm.port.offset=100. For my thorntail set up this shifted all the port by 100.
My solution to publish metrics within a docker swarm, where port 9990 is not exposed, was to write a Proxy-Servlet registered under /metrics that returns the contents of http://127.0.0.1:9990/metrics.
That way you don't expose the whole admin panel, but only the metrics part.

Dynamic Webpages how many TCP connections for each include/GET request

I have a semantic web/RDF application which runs on Tomcat and is backended with MySQL. Apache HTTPD is in front as a reverse proxy and the OS is Red Hat Linux 6. I am seeing a lot of Connections to port 80 per IP. What I want to know is what determines whether the include for a css or .js file is served over the existing TCP socket, or a new one is created for each GET that occurs while the web page is "built". Is that exclusively the application itself, or is it the Apache web server, or the Linux kernel as well?

Angular app not working in IE 9 on remote server

I have a simple angular application that works just fine when deployed on my local JBoss instance, but when I deploy the same war file in our sandboxed environment (also JBoss) the application doesn't load. Just shows up as a blank page. When viewed on Chrome or FF it works fine as well.
Not a lot to go on, but any pointers in the right direction would be very helpful.
Edit: Just another piece of info, it doesn't work locally on IE either when the address contains the computer name and not localhost. So http://localhost:8080/angularapp works but http://[machinename]:8080/angularapp does not.
In the post you don't make completely clear in what environments you've the problem (it's clear it doesn't work using IE, but does it work in all cases with Chrome and FF?).
But the problem you're experiencing when trying to access using the machine name (http://machinename:8080/...), may be caused because you've not defined properly the IP bindings in the JBoss startup: by default JBoss binds only to localhost (127.0.0.1), if you want JBoss to be accessed from any other network interface, you've to define it. That can be done using the -b parameter of the startup script (run.sh for Jboss 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x or standalone.sh if it's JBoss 7). For example:
./run.sh -b xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your server IP) will make the JBoss accessible only from that IP (and its corresponding machine name, provided is correctly defined in the DNS or /etc/hosts ...), but not from localhost.
./run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 will make the JBoss accessible from all the networks interfaces of your server.

JBoss Servername

Where do you change the hostname(servername) for your application server. For example, if there is an application server JBoss which is running on local machine, port 8080 and is accessed using "http://localhost:8080/index.jsp, and if I want to change lets say to "http://www.myserver.com/index.jsp, how do i do this?
This is called "virtual hosting". You can find the instructions for doing this with JBoss 5.1 here.
