Hmm, I guess I did not explain myself very well... I have an application, that acts as bootstrap: it creates and initializes various services, which provide a Java API to resources such as database, file-system, and native libraries. In addition, I want that bootstrap application to start an embedded tomcat, in which my web application will run. Thus, *everything* is in the same process. The question was, how can I pass Java references from the bootstrap application to the web-apps in side the embedded Tomcat.
I hope this makes it clear. I assume the Tomcat embedded APIs provide some way to pass a reference into the web-app contexts that are deployed in that Tomcat. I've never worked with Tomcat as embedded, and frankly, I can't seem to find documentation or code-samples for it. If anyone can point me to anything, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again.
