Sometime back i had run into a similar issue and for me it had turned out to be my setting in IE/Firefox. I had proxy enabled in my browser but had missed out adding "localhost" in the "No Proxy for" ("Do not use proxy for") list in the IE/Firefox settings. Adding localhost to that list had fixed the issue for me. See if you have a similar problem. But that does not explain why you are able to access Tomcat. anonymous wrote : if I run Apache Tomcat instead of jBoss everything works fine, that is I’m getting response on http://localhost:8080.
