RE: please help me how i can test that whether tomcat is up and running on

And the key to the proper answer is this bit from the OP:
>>> please help me how i can test that whether tomcat is up and running
>>> on a remote machine from a client machine.
The proper answer is "he can't", as the server is only listening to the port via the localhost IP (aka loopback).  There is no way he will ever be able to check status this way from a client (remote) system.

As was mentioned in the first answer to the OP's post, on 22/9.
