Hi Randy.
I am actually trying to execute like this ..
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pc = null;
try{
pc = rt.exec("D:\\Venky\\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\\bin\\Tomcat.bat");
}
catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error Occered");}
But it is still not working ..
I have no idea as to what the problem is ..
if there is any mistake in this please let me know
thanks
Venkatesh

Two thoughts come to my mind immediately:
1. Use Runtime.exec to call tomcat.bat/sh - benefit of this is that
it lives in a separate OS thread and the starter can then be started/stopped
independent of Tomcat. The downside is that the starter needs to know the
values (or how to find them) of Tomcat Home and Java Home.
2. Call org.apache....Tomcat.main passing the arguments that would
be set by tomcat.bat/sh. The benefit of this is that the starter doesn't
need to know how to find the Tomcat/Java home variables. The downside is
that the starter's JVM is now linked to Tomcat's (thus not allowing the
starter to be restarted without Tomcat, also the starter is tied to the
current method of invoking Tomcat, which could change in the future
releases.
