I think you need to rethink your use cases here... Exactly WHY do you need to start and stop tomcat from a button on a web page? Or do you really need to enable/disable some kind of function? Generally speaking servers don't expect to be started or stopped by their clients - well, ok,

My earlier point was that you need to think about it in a slightly different way. Starting and stopping the server is something that is normally done rarely and anyway, you can't start something that is not already started by using it to start itself! What you should do is to add a boolean

Your better off setting an application scope flag of some sort. Then have a filter check the flag before letting the request through for processing. If the flag is set, redirect to an unavailable page. --David paybackorfail wrote: Hi, thanks for replying, my application will take some data

My point below was that, to start Tomcat, you usually run a startup script, as root. If you want to do that via a html page, then your html page must have something behind it - on the server - that runs as root to start Tomcat. That's not a good idea. But basically this is besides the point.
