Having said all this, i am still not sure why your jboss-service.xml does not have mention of the ports. You mention that you are using JBoss-4.0.4GA. I have downloaded the same version and i can find the port numbers mentioned in that file. Are you sure that you are looking at the correct file and also that you have a proper installation?
