Specifies the IP address, DNS host name with domain name suffix, or the DNS host name that clients use to request a Web application resource, such as a servlet, JSP file, or HTML page.

For existing instances, the default reflects the value specified at product setup. For new instances, the default can be * to allow any value or no specification.

Data type String

The default reflects the value specified at product setup. The default might be 80, 81, 9080 or a similar value.
