If you set
<property name="com.arjuna.ats.internal.arjuna.recovery.recoveryPort" value="1213"/>
<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.transactionStatusManagerPort" value="1214"/>
you get the following Exception:
com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.exceptions.FatalError: [com.arjuna.ats.internal.arjuna.utils.SocketProcessId_2] - SocketProcessId.getpid could not get unique port.

The first problem is that in TransactionStatusManager calling ServerSocket socket = SocketProcessId.getSocket(); returns null, so that a new
ServerSocket is created in TransactionStatusManager getTsmServerSocket (int port) (line 218)

The solution is, to call (new SocketProcessId()).getpid(); in the constructor.

The second problem is that RecoveryManagerImple.activeRecoveryManager uses the wrong port (line 197):
SocketProcessId uses Property com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.transactionStatusManagerPort and not com.arjuna.ats.internal.arjuna.recovery.recoveryPort.
Solution is to change activeRecoveryManager ().
