Re: tomcat 5 embedded ?

[Mark W. Webb]

Sorry if I sounds like a complete idiot here. 
Are you saying that I can use the JMX API to start an instance of 
embedded tomcat?  If so, where can I find sample code to do this? 
I did alot of work with the embedded tomcat with the 4.1.24 version, so 
I am familiar   I had to place the embedded tomcat inside a C program :(

I would like to write some documentation on this once I have it all 
working.  It seems like very few people use the embedded tomcat.

thank you.

Embedded tomcat 4 had an API that could be used to programatically

same API exists for tomcat 5.  If not, how could I start tomcat in an

I would guess that I could not take advantage of the JMX stuff in 
tomcat 5 by using this "startup" API.


Tomcat 5 has the same Embedded API. The main difference (although you 
won't notice it) is that it is blended with the regular standalone 
Tomcat code. No more weird incompatibilities, and you can use some of 
each mode (ie, have a server.xml while using the Embedded API to 
manage contexts).

The embedded dist also includes an Ant script, which is basically a 
set of JMX commands. You can use the same JMX commands to embed Tomcat 
5. I used that to embed Tomcat 5 inside JBoss 3.2.x (actually, all the 
initial code was Costin's).
