title: run web app through SSH
body: <p>I have a VMWare virtual Linux server on which i installed a Java EE web application. i access the server via SSH.</p>
  
  <p>my question is how can i run the remote web app through ssh?</p>
  
  <p>what i did is start remote tomcat server over ssh
  then in my browser i invoked this address :</p>
  
  <pre><code> http://&lt;ssh-server-host&gt;:8080
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the connection took very long and my firefox can't establish connection b/c it takes too long.</p>
  
  <p>is there a clean way to run a web app over ssh?</p>
