This is a bit of a cross post so you have my appologies...
I am not sure if Jurgen's solution will work for the port number or not, as
I have not tried it for that. I do know that the following will take care
of the 8080 portion of the problem however, as well as URL re-writing.
I will make the assumption that you are using Tomcat, JBoss, etc. Are you
using them as stand alone servers, or are you using them in conjuction with
other servers, such as Apache, IIS, etc? Apache and IIS are much more
efficient at serving up static content, and it takes the burden for this off
of your app server. (For development, you can run all of this on one box if
you wish).
Anyways you can use a "connector" (see the jakarta site), and relay any
requests coming into your Apache/IIS web server on port 80 to your (Tomcat,
JBoss) app server on 8080. The other nice thing about doing this is you can
use Apache or IIS to setup name based, or IP based virtual domains. This
way you could refer to your app not only through http://localhost.... but
also through http://domain2...... or http://domain3, etc.
You can also setup matching url patterns with the connector as to what
requests are mapped to what app servers, etc.
If you are running your app server in conjuction with Apache, there is also
mod_rewrite. It is a plug in module for apache and allows URL re-writing,
before the request ever gets relayed to your app server
If you are only running an app server (for your local development) you could
also make it easy on yourself and simply configure it to accept requests on
port 80. You have to make sure that you do not have another app or web
server running that is already bound to that port on your local box, but it
does work. However, this would present a bit of a problem if you needed to
run multiple app servers, etc.

Subject: URL rewriting
Hi there,
How can I simplify my turbine application URL from:
http://localhost:8080/mywebapp/servlet/mywebapp to:
http://localhost/mywebapp?
I've read URL rewriting HowTo on the turbine page, but need to further
simply the URL structure.
Thanks in advance!
David
