Qn about JBuilder/Tomcat implementation

[Arafat Mohamed <ab...@yahoo.com>]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a qn about JBuilder and Tomcat. My company recently got JBuilder4
Enterprise. Although it's really nice, I prefer using emacs/JDE.

One really nice feature it has though is it's integration of Tomcat.
Basically, it's able to start a new instance of tomcat on the first
available port it finds. That speeds up testing (I don't have to stop
tomcat, restart, and then run my app to test). So I could have 3 different
instances of tomcat running, each on a different port.

I've tried to figure out how JBuilder does this, and I'll admit I'm not
smart enough to figure it out. I'm guessing I have to edit server.xml. But,
how do I run an application that isn't in /webapps and still have tomcat
find it?

So, could someone please point me in the right direction to duplicate this
without having to use JBuilder?

Thank you,
Arafat Mohamed
