[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18554?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-18554: ------------------------------------- Depending on what your server adapter is doing to check the server's state, you'll get different results. Our 2 most common mechanisms are called Web Port Poller, and Management Poller. The web port poller will mark the server as started once the server starts responding at {yourhost}:{webPort}. The management poller will mark the server as started when the management service is up and running AND the service responds that the server is actually started. For this poller, we simply trust the actual server to tell us the truth. I doubt either of these two mechanisms will change in the future, though we're always willing to add more if you can think of a better way to tell when the server is started ;) We considered at one point to read server console output and wait for the server's 'started' output, but, we decided that was probably very error prone. Any ideas? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.1#6329)
