One other scenario I forgot... If you are using the Web Tools Platform distribution, you could create a Web Project and provided the necessary dependencies in WEB-INF\Lib (at least for DAS and SDO apps) and that would give you a different user experience, where you can get a better tomcat integration from inside eclipse.
Not sure what the store would be here for the SCA dependencies artifacts, as they use a different directory structure. - Luciano On 10/9/06, Luciano Resende <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Some Issues that come to mind are: > > How to Create a Tomcat Server that uses the Tuscany built-in apachee > server, JDK, and Tuscany Libraries I might be little confused with your question, Tuscany does not have a built-in apache server, basically, you can run applications that use Tuscany in any application server. An example is DAS company web application (das/samples/companyweb), that is going to create a WAR file with all dependencies in the WEB-INF\lib directory and you would be able to deploy it in any J2EE app server (probably would only have to setup the datasources there).... I think this would also hold true for SDO, meaning that, providing you have put the necessary dependencies inside your application WEB-INF\lib directory you should be all set... please SDO guys, correct me if I'm wrong.. As for SCA, it's little more complicated, but the guys have created a plugin that will put the right artifacts in the right place in your web-app, so, if you start from a tuscany sca sample, you should have a complete WAR file with all dependencies needed...

For remote debugging, there are some instructions at the end of the followig page http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Tuscany/TuscanyJava/SCA_Java How to run the "manager" and "admin" while using Eclipse with Tomcat.
