was this server started at least once?
if so it can be the case that this process did not shutdown properly and did
not close the port
u can do a
 ps -ef | grep java
if ur server process is showed here , kill it
and try to run the server again ...

For windows there is a software available called Active Ports which lets u
know which process is using which port. not
sure if there are any tools for solaris

Hi ,
    This is not a J2EE problem, but I thought of asking for some help.

    I have J2EE Application deployed on Solaris. On starting the server
, console returns error saying the port/address is    already in use.
    While doing shutdown for the server, console returns error saying
the host is unreachable.
    I tried doing netstat, which gives the message for the port in
CLOSE_WAIT state.

    What r my options:
    Can I close a port explicitly?

Regards
Ritesh
