Configuring the Listen Port
Administration Guide 8-5
Configuring the Listen Port
You can specify the port that each WebLogic Server listens on for HTTP requests.
Although you can specify any valid port number, if you specify port
80, you can omit
the port number from the HTTP request used to access resources over HTTP. For
example, if you define port
80 as the listen port, you can use the form
http://hostname/myfile.html instead of
http://hostname:portnumber/myfile.html.
You define a separate listen port for regular and secure (using SSL) requests. You
define the regular listen port on the Servers node in the Administration Console, under
the Configuration/General tab, and you define the SSL listen port under the
Configuration/SSL tab.

include JSP pages, HTTP servlets, and static resources such as HTML pages or image
