SOAP web Services: Port Number

Please advise if it is possible to implement the SOAP web services WITHOUT the port number requirement.

We need to be able to invoke the web services using the following type of URL:

http://akosservice.de/axis2/services/JChemSearchWS?wsdl

rather than 

http://akosservice.de:8180/axis2/services/JChemSearchWS?wsdl

This is because we have a windows web application server that cannot make a connection to a service if it has a port number.

Please advise if this is possible and if yes how we would implement this.

Kind regards

Yes! If you change the port number to the default 80, then you do not have to write it out. Tomcat's port number can be changed in the tomcat/conf/server.xml (<Connector port="80".... ).
