Sticky Tomcat Problem

I have a legacy server application that opens a port (41991) and waits
for requests. I'm moving this to a servlet that will run under Tomcat
(hopefully)

Is it possible to ask Tomcat to watch port 41991 for requests as well
as the normal 8080?

Yes. You can have multiple "Connectors" listening on different ports. See
the connectors section of

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/index.html

We have 3 in fact, listening on 8080, 8081, and 8082. You list the
Connector definitions one after the other in your server.xml
configuration file.

You an change the port number, but Tomcat will still expect HTTP requests
on the port - whichever the number. Is the legacy app using HTTP for
communication, or is the protocol proprietary to the application?
