Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Release Notes for Microsoft Windows

HTTP Listener Created With --enabled=false DoesNot Disable the Listener (ID 6190900)

When an httplistener is created with the --enabled=false flag, the listener does not become disabled. The flag --enabled does not have any effect when used at the same time the listener is created.

Solution

Create the listener in an enabled state, then disable it manually later.
