Hi, I have done something similar, but used Jetty [1] as I couldn't figure out how to get tomcat to do it..
My application registers a servlet and starts jetty. the servlet gets the interface to the application via a static method. But it all works OK. Maybe you could set the application interface into the ServletConfig somehow and the servlet could grab it in the init method. I hope this is of some help. Ben ps: sorry to mention jetty on a tomcat list ;) [1] http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Embedding+Jetty On 1/23/07, Yiannis Mavroukakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Oh no, I mean the exact opposite :) ----------------- | Application | | | |---------------| |Embedded TC | ----------------- The application I am writing this for is a server daemon which has a cli that enables the user to issue commands to it once it's up and running. What I want, is to use Tomcat to serve a page that will present the user with a friendlier way to issue these commands to the app. Since there is no ready way for embedded Tomcat to "communicate" with the host application that launched it, I assume that the best way is to do this via localhost RMI calls from Tomcat to the host application Y. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Yiannis, > > Yiannis Mavroukakis wrote: > > The scenario is a server daemon that has a cli for runtime > > configuration and status. > > Oh, so you want to be able to reconfigure Tomcat remotely.
