JBoss needs is usually started by root on boot, with:

    # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/020.jboss3.sh start

This will make JBoss run with the "www" uid. You can also add yourself
to the "www" group, and start it with:

    $  jboss3ctl start

However, there *is* a problem with the port. You need to do the following
first:

    # chown www /usr/local/jboss3.2 /usr/local/jboss3.2/server/*

Otherwise JBoss won't start up properly with the "www" uid.
