Embedded Tomcat again

Hi

 

Once a year I spend some days trying to figure out, how to used embedded
tomcat.

I didn't find a working (real live) example so far.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Regards,

Well, JBoss and Geronimo are the two classic examples of using Tomcat embedded ;).  GlassFish does something similar, but with a forked version of Tomcat.

Generally, most of the time you want an embedded Tomcat is when you want more control then you can get with configuring server.xml (e.g. if you are a J2EE container).  I've posted some examples of JMX-embedding on the list in the past (for 5.5.x and up), but have never used them in my day-job ;).  It's sort of fun as a way to learn Tomcat internals, but in 99% of cases not really useful.
