Re: [proposal] TCP port unification in GlassFish

this may just be an wild idea.

could we use this mechanism to retrofit the QuickStartup ? That would
avoid QuickStartup registering the socket listener...
In particular would that allow us to deactivate QuickStartup once the
appserver is fully started ?
