This nothing about any xml-listener class or anything at all to do with Java in fact.

This is about getting your Apache web server to successfully serve files (any file).

You said you tried to connect to //localhost:8080 but the default listen port for Apache (and most other web servers) is 80 which is the port reserved for web traffic.

Unless you have changed the Apache config in httpd.conf (and I am guessing you haven't since you don't appear to have not heard of the file) Apache will be listening on port 80 not port 8080. Try //localhost:80 or simply //localhost since port 80 is assumed if left out.
