You have to modify two files to make the server and your application listen to www.mydomain.com instead of the ip address. First add a virtual host to jboss-web.xml in WEB-INF folder of your application. <context-root>/</context-root> | <virtual-host>www.mydomain.com</virtual-host> And then add the virtual host to jboss/server/xxx/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml <Host name="mydomain.com"> | <Alias>mydomain.com</Alias> | <Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias> | </Host> Your linux firewall doesn't have to redirect requests from 80 to 8080, you could change the port number in the jboss/server/xxx/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/VirtualHostswithJBossAS View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4253564#...
