Thanks Bill, I've looked at that and we actually have it running that way. What I'm looking for is a way to duplicate org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap class in my own startup. I believe that JBoss does something similar? What I really want to do is get my version of Tomcat that I startup to work like starting Tomcat manually. I want it to read the server.xml and context.xml files for web apps.
Is this possible?

Commons-modeler has a simple (if slightly out of date :) example of how to embed Tomcat using JMX. This is useful if you want Tomcat to run in a different ClassLoader than the rest of your application (and at least personally, I find it easier to use). In either case, you need to set the properties on the sub-components (e.g. Engine, Host, Contex(s)) yourself, so you are responsible for creating them. > > Mike Wannamaker > Senior Software Developer > Hummingbird Ltd. > 552 Princess St, Kingston, ON, K7L 1C7 > Tel: (613) 548-4355 x4535 > Fax (613) 548-7801 > E-Mail: Mike Wannamaker > > www.hummingbird.com > > IMPORTANT NOTICE: This communication is privileged and contains > confidential > information for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
