PK58704: WHEN GLOBAL SECURITY IS ENABLED, ORB.INIT() CALL IS PREFORMED TWICE WHICH LEADS TO ORBX0390E PORT ALREADY IN USE ERROR.

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• The following exception can be seen in the logs...
  
  
  [11/26/07 21:33:30:310 GMT] 00000047 ORBRas        E
  com.ibm.ws.orbimpl.transport.WSTransport createServerSocket
  server.startup : 4 ORBX0390E: Cannot create listener thread.
  Exception=[ org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL:
  CAUGHT_EXCEPTION_WHILE_CONFIGURING_SSL_SERVER_SOCKET,
  Exception=org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL:
  UNABLE_TO_CREATE_SSL_SERVER_SOCKET
  Exception=java.net.BindException: Address already in use:
  NET_Bind  vmcid: 0x49421000  minor code: 76  completed: No
  vmcid: 0x49421000  minor code: 77  completed: No ].
  
  
  This might be seen when some 3rd party code like Weblogic is
  doing a JNDI lookup. However, this does NOT occur if Global
  Security is DISABLED.
  
  A checked needs to be implemented to determine if the ORB
  component has already initialized, to not try again if called
  later and get rid of this exception in the logs.

  ****************************************************************
  When security is enabled, ORB.init() is already issued in
  WebSphere Application Server and it initializes SSL Server
  Socket.  If there is a situation where second ORB.init() is
  invoked, it goes to initialize the SSL Server Socket resulting
  in the "Address already in use" error as the SSL socket port
  is already in use.
  

Problem conclusion

• Multiple ORB.init() calls are not supported by WebSphere
  Application Server. You may want to try one of following
  options:
  - Use dynamic port to workaround
  Details are in the following technote
  http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248645
  
  - Avoid the second ORB.init() call and refer to the
  Information Center for the preferred way of obtaining an ORB
  instance.
  InfoCenter: Please look for "Preferred API for obtaining
  an ORB instance"
  

Temporary fix

• Avoid calling the second ORB.init().  Multiple ORB.init() is not
   supported.
