I have an interesting problem, and I wanted to share it with the group
to see if anyone else has any ideas on it.

I want to be able to ship a standalone, CFML application running on
OpenBD.  Imagine any normal application with an installer.  For the
sake of argument, this application is called 'MyApplication'.

The goal is:

1> create an installer that the user double-clicks (such as those
generated by install4j)
2> user downloads this installer
3> user runs installer
4> the installer places jetty, openbd, a jvm and a derby database into
a directory on the user's machine
5> the installer places a shortcut on the desktop for the user
6> user clicks desktop shortcut which:
  a> ensures jetty is up and running
  b> ensures OpenBD is up and responding to requests
  c> causes user's default browser to go to: http://localhost:8181/MyApplication

I've accomplished everything up to step 4.

Its step 5 and 6 that I'm interested in ideas on.  The first thing
that comes to mind is to write a small java application which performs
6a, 6b and 6c, using Java's excellent networking libraries.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Allen
