Hi All,

website inside tomcat.

Localhost is exactly that - local host. So unless you're running Tomcat
on your phone, you will not be able to access the web application via
http://localhost:8080/your-app.

What I do to test mobile applications on Tomcat is the following:

1. Make sure port 8080 is open in the firewall (at least to the local
   network)
2. Start up Tomcat and deploy the application
3. Connect my phone to my local WiFi network
4. Browse to http://ip-address:8080/my-app

One of these days I'll set up my router to do internal DNS. For now, the
IP address is sufficient.

Please note that if you use virtual hosts (named virtual hosts in Apache
HTTPD), you will have to deploy your web application to the default host
or set an Alias with the value of the IP address of the machine that
Tomcat is running on.

I also run an Apache HTTPD server with mod_jk. This allows my to access
the Tomcat application via http://ip-address/my-app.

I do this all the time on both Linux and Windows. I don't have a
Macintosh, but only the particulars (setup) would change.

. . . just my two cents
