Hi Christopher,
I've found a solution to my problem although I believe it's more accurate
to say I guessed it :) Maybe you'll be able to explain it to me. Here is
the complete code:
Tomcat tomcat = new Tomcat();
tomcat.setBaseDir(baseDir);
tomcat.getConnector().setPort(8080);
tomcat.getServer().setParentClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader());
tomcat.getEngine(); // (1)
tomcat.init();
tomcat.getHost().addAlias("127.0.0.1"); // (2)
tomcat.start();
tomcat.addWebapp("", path);
(1) - this seems like it should be called from somewhere within Tomcat
class during initialization, but somehow it isn't called, and without this
line I get a NullPointerException
(2) - this is my solution to the problem I've described before; without
this line my app is only served on http://localhost:8080 but if I include
this line my app is available on http://localhost:8080,
http://127.0.0.1:8080 and all other assigned addresses like
http://192.168.1.1:8080 etc
