I read somewhere that if I want to run Tomcat standalone on port 80, I will have to run it as root and that this is potentially unsafe. Is there any way

for me to run it on port 80 without having to give the root privileges to
the process.

Use apache (+ mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp) as a frontend.
Use squid reverse proxy as a frontend.
Use port forwarding.
Other soloutions are possible also.
