Thanks for the reply André. Sorry I missed to mention the version but I am using Tomcat 8.0.30.
Does the address component of the standard connector attribute take multiple entries ? E.g.address = ³127.0.0.1, localhost ³ ? I think my requirement is a different here. Tomcat listening on two ports , but I want to configure connecting to my web app using one of it via only the localhost and thus I wanted to set appropriate remote address filters.
