          Description

          Tomcat is bound to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces) by default. I feel the need to change this binding to e.g. localhost (127.0.0.1) or another interface by adding a <host>127.0.0.1</host> to plugin configuration in pom.xml. This is often necessary for security or firewall reasons during the development of web applications.

          Thanks in advance.

            Right. I currently use it in conjunction with tomcat:run goal.

            I miss you here. You are running tomcat:run on production systems ?
            As it's a maven plugin, it's a dev folks tool only.

            It's precisely because tomcat-maven-plugin is used during development that it is important to bind to the loopback interface only. To do otherwise exposes development code to the network and is a security risk.

            Binding to loopback only ought to have been the default.
