Thanks to all of your comments and help!! The problem is resolved. I was very 
fortunate that I was testing with FireFox otherwise I would never have come to 
know about the actual problem (That is Redirecting to port 8080). The Internet 
Explorer was not at all showing that the request is going to the incorrect 
port, wonder why??. 
Now, on clicking search button, data gets posted to the correct place and data 
gets fetched from the database correctlty. As this webapp uses the Salmon SOFIA 
framework, in order to display the data, it internally uses its own 
URLGenerator class: "URLGenerator"  and gets the PORT from System.properties 
file! And this is where the port was specified as 8080. I changed that to the 
one in Server.xml and VOILA!!
