[JBoss] Setting up multiple ports on a single JBoss instance?

Problem Context

Here's the situation. We are running a simulator servlet from a war. The servlet we are simulating has many instances on a single machine differentiated by port number. We would like to only deploy a single war which can be accessed by many ports.

What We Have So Far

Using a java Filter (see below for web.xml) we are able to forward to each servlet implementation based on port number (ports were added by adding extra connectors to deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml). This works for all web service calls, but not for wsdl requests like http://localhost:8092/simulator/sim?wsdl where 8092 is the desired version of the simulator out of many (8091, 8092, 8093, 8094). On that request the wsdl is returned correctly (each simulator implementation is slightly different) except that the URL soap:address tag always uses port 8091.

Note: We are using JBoss 5.0

relevant parts of web.xml:

<filter>
<filter-name>SimFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.example.filter.MyFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SimFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
