Jsp – How to browse the Tomcat localhost from another computer on the network

jsplocalhosttomcat

I'm an IIS guy and know its as simple as just using the http://[computername]/path to webapp.. however, I can't seem to figure out how to make this possible for a JSP application I'm writing that runs under Tomcat. Is there a configuration setting I need to set somewhere?

You need to use the Port of Tomcat which is by default 8080. So you might want to access you localhost on machine A from machine B as http://A:8080/YourProject And Remember Unlike IIS , it is case sensitive.

Unix – Can’t access Tomcat on Unix from another computer

Any application (tomcat in this case) can bind to any address or to a specific address. I guess your tomcat installation is binded to localhost only, that's why you can't access it from another host.

Look for the tomcat/conf/server.xml file and look for some text like:

<Connector 
    port="8080" 
    protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
    address="127.0.0.1"
    ...

If you find the address attribute, remove it and it should bind to every ip addres (i.e. localhost and 192.168.1.5).

Tomcat – Is it possible to run IIS and Tomcat side by side

It's definitely possible, as long as they run on different ports. If you can access tomcat locally (http://localhost:8080) but not remotely, then it's a firewall issue. Also, if you really wanted you could have iis forward requests to tomcat.
