launching Tomcat from Java
Hello,
I am writing a java app that is intended as sort of control center. It
should also occasionally start and stop Tomcat.
Unfortunately I still cannot find a better solution for this than
Runtime.exec("...startup...", ...).
My attempts to use Bootstrap.main() also give a good result ;) But only
until I wish to stop Tomcat. Then Bootstrap.main ("stop") just kills the
whole JVM... :(
Still avoiding Runtime.exec() would be great. Any ideas? Any ways to
parameterize Catalina/Bootstrap/etc ?
Regards,
Sergey Ushakov

Thank you Craig, that is something I wanted to hear :)
By the way, I did not dare removing System.exit() myself as I found half a
dozen classes that use this call... Perhaps some of these calls deserve
changing to something else...
Regards,
Sergey

Re: launching Tomcat from Java

The key question is whether you want Tomxcat to run in the same JVM or
not. For running in a separate JVM, you're not going to have a lot of
choice about using Runtime.exec().
To run in the same JVM, Bootstrap.main() currently has a "System.exit(0)"
at the end which needs to be removed. I'll make that change in the Tomcat
code so that this will not be a problem in future versions.
For same-JVM use, you can also consider using the
org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded class to set up Tomcat components the
way you want them. This is the technique used by the J2EE 1.3 RI to embed
Tomcat as the web container, and is useful when you want to maintain your
own configuration information independent of the "server.xml" file. This
class has a dummy main() method that illustrates its use.
