How do you configure tomcat to bind to a single ip address (localhost) instead of all addresses?

Several connectors are configured, and each connector has an optional “address” attribute where you can set the IP address.

  1. Edit tomcat/conf/server.xml.
  2. Specify a bind address for that connector:
    <Connector 
        port="8080" 
        protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
        address="127.0.0.1"
        connectionTimeout="20000" 
        redirectPort="8443" 
      />
