Non-servlet application

["Mayne, Peter" <Pe...@ap.spherion.com>]

I have an application that needs to run as a service (on Windows) responding
to various events, none of which are HTTP/servlet/JSP related.

I could set it up as a separate Windows service (similar to jk_nt_service).
However, since there is an instance of Tomcat running already, it would be
easier to write it as a Tomcat application.

Is this a suitable use for Tomcat? If so, what is the right way of going
about this?

Thanks.
