I'm a newbie in this area. I want to know if I can listen to port 80 which tomcat is configured with as soon as the tomcat service has started.
No applications have been deployed to it yet.

Yes, once the Tomcat service has started it will be listening on all address/port combinations for which a connector has been configured.
Exactly when Tomcat binds to those address/port combinations during the start sequence is controlled by the bindOnInit
configuration parameter of the connector.
