Good evening, If you use Tomcat alone (without Apache or any other web servers), you'll have to find a way to have it listen on the port 80 (there a some of them available on the web).
Because Tomcat uses the port 8080 by default. In such a situation, you can't remove the port number: no port number in the address bar means port 80! And as you use MacOS X, which is a Unix derivative, you can't just modify Tomcat's server.xml and ask it to use the port 80: on Unix, port numbers < 1024 are reserved and a program needs the root privileges to bind to them. One more thing: any Tomcat distribution is able to set up a virtual host, so you should definitively use the plain-vanilla Tomcat available officially.
