This is a network issue more than a software issue. The Tomcat installation
is no different with permanent or dialup connections, however your IP
address will likely change every time you dial (as most ISP's use DHCP).
Thus it will be impossible to resolve a domain name to the IP address of
your server from the public internet, as it will change every time you dial.
You will still be able to access your home page on your local machine
(http://localhost:8080/ by default) but it will only be accessible on the
Net by using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/ where the x's are whatever dynamic
IP address you have been assigned that time.
Of course, if your ISP offers you a fixed IP address, you can get a domain
to resolve to that fixed address and your problems are solved. Obviously,
the server will only be available to the public when you are dialled up.
