Eclipse-Lomboz SocketException in Standalone Tomcat

[Rafael Lee]

I am running a sample jsp app via eclipse's run menu or the 'deploy' command (rt-click->deploy) in Lomboz J2ee view. Why is it that the following error occurs when eclipse/lomboz 'runs' or 'deploys' to the targeted server tomcat?

----------------------------
During the first 'run' or 'deploy' of the jsp app after the launching of eclipse, the eclipse/lomboz system successfully opens a browser showing the page, but in subsequent re-'runs' or re-'deploys', the error above keeps on occurring. The tomcat server is standalone.
To do an error-free execution, I had to launch tomcat outside eclipse, open a new browser window then execute with the proper url.
I'd appreciate your comments.
