Tomcat webapp not displaying in IE9

Hi
I have recently had my laptop upgraded to windows 7 64 bit and have had to reinstall my webapp on it.

I have successfully installed tomcat 6 and the tomcat manager is showing correctly in IE9 on loading http://localhost:8080

My webapp has also been successfully deployed and loads with no errors reported in the stout log.

However when I come to access my webapp in IE9 it semi loads (the title loads on the tab) but then after a few seconds I get a web page cannot be displayed.

Anyone have any thoughts on what could be stopping it from being rendered?

Not sure this is fully a problem with IE as I'm getting the same in chrome.

If it's doing the same thing in multiple browsers, the problem is clearly in your app. So why does your subject say "in IE9" when the problem is not just in IE9?

What steps have you taken to debug the problem?

I mentioned IE9 as this is the browser the app has been specifically written for.

It has also been deployed on remote systems using the same java / tomcat combination and it renders fine from remote access the problem is when trying to access the local app instance on my local machine

Red Herring. Mentioning the browser just draws attention away from the real problem which is clearly not browser-specific.

As stated the app deploys fine with no errors in the stout.

I have checked my hosts file to ensure localhost is in the list not sure where else to check, my next port of call was to reset my Internet settings in IE to see if that helps.

Also to note I had this working using the same app, java and tomcat on my old winxp laptop earlier today fine.

Are you stepping through the code with either a debugger or using logging?

Finding out exactly where things are going awry is going to be of much more use than fiddling with browser settings.
