How can we get port 8080 from adempiere so as to give it dynamically

Question

I have a message sending program from server to client which is working inside adempiere. Here I have to give supply port: 8080 dynamically, ie. port must not be hardcoded. Now I am hard coding port 8080 at serversocket and socket

Server

    ServerSocket srvr = new ServerSocket(8080, 1, InetAddress.getByName(mSession.getRemote_Addr()));

Client

    Socket skt = new Socket(ip.getHostAddress(), 8080);

Please suggest a method rebel to this hard coding. Please help me.

The web port is part of the configuration data that is used when the setup process is run but it isn't accessed by the server/client once the setup is complete. To access the data, you will need to load the configuration data again like this:

int webPort = 8080;
ConfigurationData data = new ConfigurationData(null);
if (data.load()) {
    webPort = data.getAppsServerWebPort ();
}

ServerSocket srvr = new ServerSocket(webPort, 1, InetAddress.getByName(mSession.getRemote_Addr()));
