I have 2 components using REST/XML to communicate.
When one of them tries to send a message to the other one I get this
exception:

Caused by: com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: connect
        at
com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionClientHandler.handle(UR
LConnectionClientHandler.java:128)
        at com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client.handle(Client.java:397)

        at
com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource$Builder.post(WebResource.java:499)

The thing I don't understand is that I usually receive this exception
when I try to start a second web container listening on the same port as
another one on the same machine.

Why do I get that exception sending a HTTP POST ?

Thanks in advance...
