If you use "localhost2" as a URL, you will almost certainly get an error
because that name is unlikely to resolve to a system that is set up to
provide a Web service to your browser. If you get an error when using
the URL "localhost", that is because the machine you're running that
browser on ("localhost", by convention, always refers to the machine on
which the network host reference is being made) does not have a Web
service configured to respond on IP port 80, which, also by convention,
is the default port number for http traffic. It works when you use
"localhost:8080" because 8080 is the default IP port on which Tomcat
receives Web traffic. So, your arrangement is working exactly as one
would expect.

I started the Tomcat webserver. When I keyin "localhost:8080",
I get the apache-tomcat webpage and can run the examples.
however, when i keyin "localhost" only, i get error.
As you should. Do you have a question?
