You were totally right Mark, thanks for your help I found that there were two xml configuration files used by liferay in my application with this line in the header
<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.1.3//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd";> This was provoking the connections, and after removing this line, the problem is fixed.

Maybe tell tomcat that there is no internet access?

My money would be on an XML schema. Since you are sniffing traffic, what URLs are being requested?
