Including Tomcat in stand-alone app

writing an application that receives SOAP messages via HTTP, and I would
like to use the servlet API, but not run anything as heavyweight as a
web server.

What JAR libraries do I need in my classpath that represents Tomcat and
the servlet API? Can I distribute these JARs with my application?

How do I start and stop Tomcat programmatically from my application?


cheers,

What SOAP implementation are you using, or is it your own?  Many
implementations (Apache SOAP, for example), include infrastructure for
setting up a SOAP server, so you don't really need to layer Tomcat on top of
that.

See http://xml.apache.org/soap/features.html or
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/xml-axis/java/docs/user-guide.html
