          Components: Server
    Affects Versions: 7.0.1.Final

Hi.  The way ports are selected in JBoss are very unconventional (from a traditional sysadmin pov).

As there are so many, they are specified as sets either at runtime via -Djboss.service.binding.set=<portset>, at which point they are lost to remote controlling apps like JBDS, or you can over-ride the "ServiceBindingManagementObject" bean in

./jboss-as/server/default/conf/bindingservice.beans/META-INF/bindings-jboss-beans.xml

However a *nix sysadmin would be looking for a conventional way to affect port setup, like a standard properties or text file in

./jboss-as/server/default/conf/

not by configuring code-level service beans.  Consider how standard mail, DNS, web, database etc servers are easily deployable.  Why should   JBoss AS be so different?
