As I said there are at least three options: - Use tomcat behind a webserver (Apache, IIS) and connect it with mod_jk* This is the best documented attempt. - Use tomcat behind a proxy (Apache, squid, ...). That means tomcat is still listening on 8080 and the proxy directs the requests from port 80 to 8080 - Use Tomcat behind a port mapper Quite (if you don't look to close) the same solution as the proxy (iptables)
