so what i want is just add something inside <services> as you suggest ? then how about for http://localhost case ?

thank you !

add config into server.xml follow this ::

Server.xml in my tomcat 5.0.16

<Service name="Catalina">
<!-- http://localhost-->
<Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" port="80" redirectPort="8443">
</Connector>
<!-- http://localhost:8080-->
<Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" port="8080" redirectPort="8443">
</Connector>
<!-- http://localhost:8082-->
<Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" port="8082" redirectPort="8443">
</Connector>
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler" redirectPort="8443">
</Connector>
<Engine defaultHost="localhost" name="Catalina">
<Host appBase="webapps" name="localhost">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
</Host>

hi, if i register a domain name, how to i map the domain with my IP, is it need to set something in tomcat ?

I was wondering if someone could give a brief explanation on what Apache and TomCat are and some reasons on why someone should choose them over other products (other than being free). Thanks.

hi, rob , for the question, what is tomcat, you should refer to link

and why people using tomcat is of course it is free as major factor, some other reasons like stability , easy to use ..it did a very good job considering if you only want to use tomcat for jsp and servlet processing, it running is light weight as compare with j2EE application server which consist other components that you may not need..

further points like supported and intergrated with major IDE , finally, it is extensible if you want to plugin some nice framework like struts
