Having socket-bindings defined doesn't mean noting yet. There must be se subsystem that uses that socket-binding. Transaction subsystem has reference to this socket binding, so you need to have that configured. -- tomaz *From: *Michael Musgrove <mmusgrov(a)redhat.com&gt; *Sent: *ponedeljek, 18. december 2017 15:39 *To: *WildFly Dev <wildfly-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; *Subject: *[wildfly-dev] How to connect to a wildfly port The wildfly server config contains various socket bindings such as: <socket-binding name="txn-status-manager" port="4713"/> When I run netstat -plnt to see which ports wildfly listens on I only see the http and management port because WildFly is using http upgrade: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 163/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9990 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 163/java Is there a way for me to open the txn-status-manager (port 4713) and write some data to it.
