While working on a WIX project, I faced an issue installing a REST-based web service because the application’s designated port was already in use by another program. To identify the conflicting port, I utilized the Socket Class in Java. This class serves as an endpoint for communication, and by providing it with a host and port, I could confirm if that port was in use on my local machine, allowing me to troubleshoot the issue effectively.
When encountering issues with a WIX application installation due to port conflicts, the Java Socket Class can help identify whether a specific port is in use.
Using the Socket Class in Java allows you to programmatically check if a port on your local machine is occupied, enhancing diagnosis for application setup.
