Port 8080 is already bound error when i try to bind it with Tomcat

Question

Hi,
I use Oracle 9i AS version 2 on Sun Solaris.
I start the oracle service with the following shell script
#orastart.sh
ORACLE_BASE=/users/ora9ias
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/orainfra
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=iasdb
export ORACLE_SID
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin
export PATH
lsnrctl start
sqlplus
     #Enter user-name: connect as sysdba
     #Enter password: manager
     #SQL>startup
     #SQL>exit
oidmon start
oidctl server=oidldapd instance=1 configset=1 start
dcmctl start -cl
I also run Tomcat Web Server on port 8080.
When I run the orastart.sh before running the Tomcat Web Server than I am not able to run the web server because the port 8080 is already bound by some process in Oracle 9i AS.
If I run the web server first than the orastart.sh then there is no problem in anything.
As per requirements by the client we have to run the web server on port 8080 only. There is absolutely no guarantee that the client will run the processes in some specified order i.e. orastart first then Tomcat or vice-versa. Please provide me help so that i can change the port 8080 used by some oracle process to some other port number, so that it does not conflict with the port 8080 used by Tomcat.

Hi Tugdual,
I have done as u have mentioned, but in $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini there is no service that listens to the port 8080.
I only get this problem when I run my script before running the Tomcat web server, when i run the Tomcat web server before the script then i face no problem.
I am also pasting the output of the lsnrctl command. This shows that Oracle 9i AS is listening to port 8080.

Please help me in this, as this is very urgent. Our client already uses the Oracle 9i AS 2 (on Solaris) for some other application and I have to use the same machine and also the client wants the Tomcat web server to listen to port 8080 only. He has asked us to change the port of Oracle 9i Service that uses the port 8080.
thanx
