Changing the default domain name of the server.

Question

I know this is not the correct title for the topic. but its the best word i could found on my voculabary.
here's my problem.
Im using Sun App Server 9. the server is installed in the local machine. for testing purposes client access from the local server is sufficient. I deployed a web service using net beans 5.5. My problem is that the WSDL file is generated (by server) uses a fully qualified domain name rather than localhost. for example it uses http://mlb.stdmlb.sliit.lk:8080. When i try to create a client using netbeans it tries to access the server using this address (the one in the WSDL) but the firewall denies access to port 8080. Therefore i want to use the server to use localhost rather than the long domai name. (at least http://mlb) Can anyone tell me how to configure this?

These are the steps for changing domain name & IP address without reinstall
a) Stop the Gateway and Server .
b) Export the profile server database to a flat ldif file:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-host_name/db2ldif /temp/profile.ldif
c) Use awk, perl, or vi, to change every instance of the system domainname in the ldif file to that of the new system.
d) Import the edited ldif file into the profile server on the new machine:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-/ldif2db -i /temp/profile.ldif
e) edit etc/opt/SUNWips/platform.conf and change all the domain name & Ip address
f) edit /etc/opt/SUNWips/properties.file change the domain name
g) Start the platform server and gateway on the new machine.
