make Tomcat reachable on internet
Hi everybody!
I've developed some servlets and i've installed them on tomcat in ubuntu.
They work fine in my LAN but now i have to make them reachable on internet.
What can i do for do this?
I'm new in tomcat and sorry if i opened a new topic but i have not found
anything similar.
Thanks!

None of the above is really relevant to the OP's question (and his question isn't relevant to Tomcat). He needs to expose his IP address to the world, and as Jordan points out, that pretty much always requires paying money to somebody (or putting up with ads).

How do you deploy your webapp(s)? Do you use a context file in
conf/Catalina or do you use the webapp folder? Do you have any virtual
hosts or contexts? Do you use Apache httpd or just Tomcat?

If you're using DynDNS or equivalent, configure your router to pass requests for a specific port (usually 80) to the internal IP address and port of your Tomcat system. (The target port is whatever you configured in the <Connector> element in Tomcat's server.xml file.) Shouldn't need to change anything in Tomcat.

i know that exist some services like DYNDNS. They are free and i don't need
professional use of my application. I post my question in Tomcat forum
because i don't know if i must change something in tomcat configuration from
a LAN function to an INTERNET function. Maybe someone here had the same
problem.
I'd like to know if i can solve my problem with router forewarding...DYNDNS
service...and how.
But without hosting service.
Thanks.

It's the easiest one to do with any sort of professionalism.
You could host off of the IP Address given to you by your ISP but IP's
that your ISP gives you are not static, and can change.
Services exist that can create the illusion of a static IP address, such
as no-ip.com, among others, but it's generally not done for professional
sites and usually cost money just like hosting accounts do.
Shared hosting accounts are very cheap or even free. Any particular
reason you're opposed to a hosting account?

If you use DMZ your problem to make visible Tomcat outside your LAN will
disappear.
BUT, (in case you don't have a static IP) you have to deal with the problem
that the given IP is provisory and will be changed after some days, so you
have to find a way to communicate the new IP to whom who wants to ping
tomcat (application deployed on tomcat).

Thanks for your response. I did not know about DMZ.
It seems the easiest way,
But what about forewarding configurations in my router? port forewarding? if
i use DMZ i don't have to touch nothing about these?
Thanks again

Re: make Tomcat reachable on internet
Posted by Casper Wandahl Schmidt <ka...@gmail.com>.
(I top-post to follow the standard in this thread)
It can be done without putting the machine in DMZ as well. I use
portforwarding to forward port 80 in my router to my server (port 80 as
well). There I have Apache Httpd running which then talks to tomcat (I
also have port 8080 forwarded so that tomcat can be reached directly but
domain.tld:8080 i inconvenient and I need php, therefore httpd is up and
running on port 80).
I have dynamic IP as well but my dns-provider have a webservice which
can be used to change my ip to the one sending the request. This means
that I have e cronjob on my ubuntu server running each 20 minutes. It
uses curl to call the webservice with the appopriate domain, username
and password and if my IP is changed since the last call the
dns-provider will change it to the new IP for me :)
Kind regards
Casper

Re: make Tomcat reachable on internet

I guess you need to add an static IP to your router and do a mapping with
your local ip (macchine where tomact is running)
In my case I can do that accessing to the router 169.168.1.1 then
Firewall->DMZ
Here I have a table with two fields:
- Public IP Address
- Client PC IP Address
Public Ip is an ip assigned randomly from my ISP but it changes every 2-3
days, because I don't have a STATIC ip.
Client ip is the internal ip of the macchine in my LAN, usually 192.168.1.x
In this way you can access your application typing outside your LAN:
publicip:port/ApplicationName

Sounds like a good deal to me!
Which ISP was it? Feel free to email me off-list if you don't want to
broadcast it to the world (Verizon?).

Yes, that's the way mine was, but the business account was only $2.00
more than the home acct, so I decided to stay legal on it. They also
bumped up my outgoing bandwidth when I upgraded, though the incoming
stayed the same. I get better tech support response as well.

Most ISP TOSs (at least in the US) say the same thing, but they don't
really care unless you start eating-up a ton of bandwidth. It's
largely an unforced policy but it's there so they can stop you if you
start to generate a lot of traffic.

Actually, you'll have to change BOTH of those to allow the port you want
through. And then your ISP also has to allow incoming connections on
the desired port. I have done this, but I had to sign up for a business
account with my ISP, because their TOS didn't allow me to run a server

This is what hosting companies do. They give you a location that's
accessible via the Internet to place your files and applications.
You'll want to look into getting a hosting account.
