Thank you Jeffrey BUT we are not FW owner, AND we are so tiny little smalls in the AXA world AND our holly FW godfather admin is keeping his fingers on the holly FW.
But why can tomcat not close and open the port 8080 and keep it in a way inexistent for external access unless the server is really up! I am not a TCP socket expert, so I do not know what else we can do to prevent that a request from our users reaching the server too early. How is that normally I intend to GET a html page and get the return saying "Sorry but server maintenance work is in progress blab la bla"?

That means you would have to turn the firewall on if it is not currently running. You could script this into a startup task on the server.
