How to get bound server address and port programmatically in Java EE?

Question

At startup we need to get the server address and the http port of the running application. Until now we made it like this:

MBeanServer mBeanServer = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
ObjectName socketBindingMBean = new ObjectName("jboss.as:socket-binding-group=standard-sockets,socket-binding=http");

String  host = (String)  mBeanServer.getAttribute(socketBindingMBean, "boundAddress"),
Integer port = (Integer) mBeanServer.getAttribute(socketBindingMBean, "boundPort"));

Everything was fine but after migration from jBoss 7.1.1.Final to 7.1.3.Final we got the problem that the MBean isn't defined at server startup. That means everything is fine if I deploy the application on an already running jboss server, but if I start the server and the application is loaded up during server start MBeans are not there.

I don't know why but I have the feeling that jBoss makes sure, that out application is started/loaded before most of the MBeans. I had a small look and found out that following Mbeans are loaded after our application:

• jboss.as:interface=..
• jboss.as:socket-binding-group=..
• jboss.as:subsystem=..
• jboss.as:core-service=management.. (some)

So,

• how can I force jBoss to load MBeans before my application?
• is there another way/mbean where I can get my information?

I got the same issue in JBOSS Wildfly 8.1 . I solved the problem with the code below that worked for me to get server address and http port:

//http port
ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer().getAttribute(new ObjectName("jboss.as:socket-binding-group=standard-sockets,socket-binding=http"), "port");

//http adress
ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer().getAttribute(new ObjectName("jboss.as:interface=public"), "inet-address");
