Tomcat behind Firewall

I am planing to set up a firewall between my web server (with tomcat) and 
the Internet. Is it necessary to open other ports that used by tomcat except 
port 80?
e.g. 8080, 8007?

thx!

No... unless you have servers on the outside that are looking
to run of of your servlet engine you should not open your apj
port.  You only need to open ports that will have trafic to the client
