Port 8005 is typically used to access the Tomcat server shutdown feature. It is a predefined port number used by Apache Tomcat, an open-source web container that enables the execution of Java servlets, JSPs, and other Java web applications. Whenever the server is shutdown, Port 8005 is used to close all connected sockets and terminates all running threads. It is important to ensure that this port is available and accessible to gracefully shutdown the server without losing any data.
