A Tomcat installation is just a bunch of files plus some way of starting Tomcat. Your installer could install the files (don't forget you may need to install a JRE as well, as the machine may not already have an appropriate version installed). Your installer could also call the script to create an appropriate service - it depends whether you want to start Tomcat as a service, or whether you just want it started when the user starts your program. Be aware of your user base if you choose to do this. In general, I get rather upset when an installer installs something that runs at startup on my machine and doesn't tell me. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
