Chuck,

I will not start a discussion about security ...
It's only an additional simple "trick" to hide it to some curious people in the 
inner ring, like students and so on.
The Tomcat itself is by it's port 8080 not accessible from outside.

If you think that constitutes security, you're fooling yourself.  Security by 
obscurity is an invitation to hackers.
