That having been said, the reason why appservers default to some high port numbers is because in a unix or unix-like (linux,*BSD) environment
only the root user (think administrator if you're from a windows environment) can use ports under 1024. Defaulting the appservers to a port > 1024 allows
ordinary users to play with the appserver. As to why the port chosen was 8080 as opposed to some other port, I suspect that was a cut'n'paste thing.

Yes I tried google, and yes this question isnt about struts specifically but it is a struts RELATED question that should be allowed on the list (you can't use struts without an application server). I know I'm on your "kill list" dgraham (btw, what is more lame, me asking a question, or you bragging about your KILL FILE, OMG ITS A KILL FILE, WHAT OTHER KINDS OF E-PENIS ENHANCING FILES DO YOU MAINTAIN?), but I have to reply to your comment. I'm not wasting your time unless you actually take the time to reply, which you have already done. so you actually wasted your own time. what you should have done is just ignored my message completely since you obviously don't want to help anyone that isn't asking questions that you personally feel are not "lame".

I think you're confused about who is wasting who's time. And in case you're still confused, your simple (and extremely LAME) question is wasting the time of EVERY person on this list. What you failed to glean from the previous answer is that you are obviously too dumb (or too lazy) to find the answer yourself, and we're not gonna do it for you.
No need to reply, you're in my kill file.

How about ANSWERING the question instead of HINTING at it and wasting my time. Or maybe go get laid, that would probably help too
