OSB Server fails startup port in use

Question

Hi fellow Oracle members,
I am trying to install Oracle Service Bus on Weblogic Application Server 11G (10.3.3.0). I first created the weblogic domain then later extended it to also include the OSB functionality. After extending the domain I changed the nodemanager.properties using the setNMProps.sh file then restarted the nodemanager.
The osb_server1 is created succesfully in the WL domain however I can not start it up due to the following exception in the servers osb_server1.out file:
<content osb_server1.out>
starting weblogic with Java version:
ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:690]

I checked several forum threads for this exception and learned from them that the normal cause is the double usage of the Debug port 8453. I changed this port both in the setDomainEnv.sh file as well as in the nit-info/startscript.xml and the init-info/startscript-unsub.xml. Stopped all the weblogic components (nodemanager and AdminServer) then restarted everything again. This solution unfortunately does not work as the above exception keeps appearing even when different ports are used.
Has anyone seen the JDWP Transport dt_socket exception when they installed the osb functionality and knows how to solve this?
Thank you in advance,
Rene

What is your point of view about what the cause could be of this exception? I used the supplied JVM that came with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Weblogic Application Server so my expectation is that the JDK version is not the cause of this exception. It looks to me to be something in the configuration?
