Configure Spring Boot with two ports

Question

I'm trying configure an application in Spring Boot with two differents ports, but I haven't got still. My first aproximation has been with two controllers and I have defined a @Bean inside the two controller with container.setPort(8080); And my second aproximation has been add the actuator dependency and change the port of the managament, but my application don't run. "Address already in use: bind", How can I confiure an application with two ports? I want one port for admin and the other port is for consults of my api.

As is has been mentioned before, server.port and management.port along with management.context-path properties could be set to make the embedded container to listen on different ports (management-related properties to access Actuator endpoints).

To listen on ports other than server.port and management.port:

@Configuration
public class EmbeddedTomcatConfiguration {

    @Value("${server.additionalPorts}")
    private String additionalPorts;

    @Bean
    public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainer() {
        TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory tomcat = new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory();
        Connector[] additionalConnectors = this.additionalConnector();
        if (additionalConnectors != null && additionalConnectors.length > 0) {
            tomcat.addAdditionalTomcatConnectors(additionalConnectors);
        }
        return tomcat;
    }

    private Connector[] additionalConnector() {
        if (StringUtils.isBlank(this.additionalPorts)) {
            return null;
        }
        String[] ports = this.additionalPorts.split(",");
        List<Connector> result = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String port : ports) {
            Connector connector = new Connector("org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol");
            connector.setScheme("http");
            connector.setPort(Integer.valueOf(port));
            result.add(connector);
        }
        return result.toArray(new Connector[] {});
    }
}

application.yml

server:
  port: ${appPort:8800}
  additionalPorts: 8881,8882

Application.java

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(...)
@Import(EmbeddedTomcatConfiguration.class)
public Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application .class, args);
    }
}
