<p>How do you configure tomcat to bind to a single ip address (localhost) instead of all addresses?</p>

Several connectors are configured, and each connector has an optional "address" attribute where you can set the IP address.
Edit
```
tomcat/conf/server.xml
```
.
Specify a bind address for that connector:
```
<Connector 
    port="8080" 
    protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
    address="127.0.0.1"
    connectionTimeout="20000" 
    redirectPort="8443" 
  />
```
