How to bind Tomcat to Port 80

# netstat -nap | grep ':80' | grep LISTEN

do you really want tomcat listening to 80? Usually you setup a real webserver in front of it.

Thanks glg/rsk.

Yeah. I can configure iptables to direct all traffic on port 80 to tomcat port.

I google and found this if anybody wants to bind it to port 80

Yeah you are right. I dont need to bind it to port 80, I can configure my iptable to redirect all traffic on 80 to tomcat port.

If at all we want to bind to 80, this link may help.

I wasn't talking about iptables. I'm talking about putting up apache or nginx or something else in front of it. Tomcat isn't meant to be a front end web server, it's an application server.
