  • How do I restrict Tomcat to listen only on ipv4 address ?

  • By default Tomcat listens only on IPv6 addresses. Following netstat output shows Tomcat is listening only on IPv6 address.

    tcp        0      0 :::8009   :::*   LISTEN      91         8474899    29185/java          off (0.00/0/0)
tcp        0      0 :::8080   :::*   LISTEN      91         8474862    29185/java          off (0.00/0/0)
