Hello, To scratch an itch I've been working on an alternative means to embed Tomcat:
https://github.com/pidster-dot-org/embed-apache-tomcat There's a core utility for embedding Tomcat[1] and a JUnit Rule[2] for testing that uses it, e.g. 1. https://github.com/pidster-dot-org/embed-apache-tomcat/blob/master/embed-apache-tomcat-core/src/test/java/org/pidster/tomcat/embed/TomcatSimpleTest.java 2. https://github.com/pidster-dot-org/embed-apache-tomcat/blob/master/embed-apache-tomcat-test/src/test/java/org/pidster/tomcat/embed/junit/TomcatServerRuleTest.java I've snuck it into Maven Central here: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Corg.pidster I'd be interested to hear feedback from the list. p
