java: deploying web service on static IP and accessing from outside network

Question

I have designed a REST Web Service in java and I'm running it locally on Apache Tomcat server.

Now I want to access the web service from outside my network. I have a static IP address.

How do I access it from another network?

The server is not responding or is not reachable, it means. refer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3825581/does-an-http-status-code-of-0-have-any-meaning — dev2d, Jan 30 '14 at 11:26
you can try hitting it from the machine on which you deployed like https(s)://localhost:port/ — dev2d, Jan 30 '14 at 11:27
are you using same port while connecting from other machine? and u sure you have static IP? is that accessible through internet? — dev2d, Jan 30 '14 at 11:31

after having chat with you, i can suggest following.

check if your network/firewall have port 8080 open. if not make it open for communication.
try doing telnet to that IP with the port 8080 to check if that port is open for connection to that machine, if not contact to your network operator.

it seems connection problem to me more than service related issue.
