Misty Stanley-Jones commented on JBTM-797:
------------------------------------------

Release Note:

Cause: The ORB did not throw an exception if the specified port was in use.

Consequence: The ORB was left in an unusable state, and the problem was not detectable programmatically, even though a warning was printed to standard output.

Fix: The ORB now throws an exception and tries again to bind to the port.

Result: Developers can detect and deal with failures in ORB setup.

> When the specified orb (actually OA) port is in use the orb setup will fail, leave the orb/oa in an unusable state, print a warning but not be detectable or recoverable programatically. This sucks for the test suite, since it's not uncommon for rec mgr startup to fail due to the O/S not having recycled ports from a previous test process. This situation should be detectable and retryable.
