use of bootstrap address.

The bootstrap port is a well known port generally used for management and management communications for WAS profiles (Deployment Manager, Node Agent, etc.).

hi saravana , 

i think BootStrap port and RMI port mean the same.

Generally used by clients to access application server for ORB(object request broker) of Ejb For an application. this port number should be mentioned in the JNDI url  to connect to the application server.

thank you.

              

Sorry for any confusion.  I haven't thought about RMI clients in awhile, and I know that when wsadmin is using RMI to connect a dmgr or app server, wsadmin connects to the bootstrap port.

The bootrap port is a "well advertised" port that RMI clients can connect to and then client is usually "directed" to another ORB port (ORB listener, etc.) depending if security is enabled or not.

Good overview on how EJBs use the various related ORB ports can be found here -> www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/tec...

thank you paul and kasi.
