Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed feedback. Unfortunately, there are no such entries in the "web.xml" files within "webapps". Logfiles do not show such entry either. We therefore have to get in touch with the software vendor in order to address this.
Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: André Warnier (tomcat) [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] Sent: Dienstag, 27.

Each of those webapps corresponds to a sub -directory of tomcat-dir/webapps/. Under each of these sub-directories, there should be a sub-directory named "WEB-INF", which contains a file "web.xml" specific to this application. If the application opens any TCP port by itself, chances are that it is mentioned as a parameter in that web.xml file. Another good source may be the tomcat logfiles, at the moment tomcat starts. The logfile usually contains messages indicating when tomcat opens ports and/or starts applications, and the applications themselves may also write there when they open a port. (That depends of course on the application, and how helpful its logging is).
