Be careful. This isn't really a workaround, it's something totally
different. When you specify port 8080, (most likely) you are
accessing Tomcat directly (as a web server, not just a servlet
container), and not going through your regular web server. It seems
that many people aren't aware that "out of the box" Tomcat runs its
own basic web server on port 8080. This is likely not the way you
want to run things. If this is the only way you can get some aspect
of Tomcat to work, it likely means that you have Tomcat itself
configured correctly, but not the interaction/communication between
your regular web server and Tomcat. I can't help on the details of
that, because I'm not otherwise familiar with the problem you
describe. But this is something you should work out.
