How to run multiple instances of JBoss in a one single machine?

Question

I need to run multiple(more than 4) instances of JBoss server on a single machine. I am using JBoss 4.2.3 GA.

Answer 1

The quickest and easiest way that comes into mind is simply configuring multiple IP addresses to the hosting machine. Then you can use the different IP addresses to bind to each instance. Doing this means you don't have to change any default ports and allows for an easier environment to manage.
