Thanks Misha, Tim again. Do you guys work in tandem?
Anyways...Misha I took a look at server.xml. I believe this line does the trick
<Connector port="8080" .....
I can change it to some other port number.
About port 80, I am still not sure. Can I change the above line to say ><Connector port="80" .....?
Also if I understood you correctly Tim, that means most of the web servers in use are configured for port 80, so that users need not type in the port number.
For example, the web server hosting javaranch.com would be set on port 80 and hence we can get away by requesting www.javaranch.com instead of www.javaranch.com:<some port number other than 80>
Am I right?
