start tomcat and type "netstat -lnp" to check on which port tomcat is listening.

besides, since tomcat is a pure-java-installation, i recommend to

- install java from debian-source
- download tomcat from tomcat.apache.org (do not use the debian-source-tree)
- configure tomcat according to your needs
- enjoy

Thanks Greg. I thought that since tomcat is available in the debian repositories
the debian way to install it is from there. Why do you recommend that I install
java from the debian tree but that I shouldn't use the debian tree for tomcat?
How do I know when to install from the debian tree and when not?

I noticed that the structure of directories when installing tomcat
from the debian
tree is quite messy which probably is a good reason not to use the tree but why
did people create and maintain the package which behaves differently from the
apache tomcat?

Regards,
Martin
