Alex,

port 80 is the default port for http, so what you are wanting to do is
have tomcat listen on port 80 instead of 8080.  to do this on a *nix box
you'd need to run tomcat as root (for 3.x anyway - I believe 4.0 has a
wrapper that does this properly), which isn't a good idea.  alternatively,
if you are using apache as well, then you need to configure mod_jk. 

a good place to start is the docs in the distribution - have a look at
mod_jk, or edit server.xml and change 8080 to 80.
