You can do two things imho :
1.mirror the content using some site spider (wget comes to mind). The content will be static, and dynamic functionalities will be lost (like search)
2. duplicate the server environement and run it on the client computer. In your case I don't think it will be easy because you'd have to install Tomcat + SqlServer on each PC. (add to this the licencing fees if applicable for each client...).
I did something similar (with zope, cfr http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/zope_on_cdrom). Another issue with a setup like this is the fact that the tool must work from a read only device.

Hi,
We are developing a CMS/KMS for an Intranet using Tomcat, JSP, Servlets and
SQL Server. The intranet content is divided into Contexts, which is similar
to channels and contains all kinds of files like PDFs. Word docs, htmls etc.
The users can browse the content and search based on the metadata captured
during content upload/creation. The database tables contain this metadata
and location of the uploaded file.
The users of this system travel a lot and hence one of the requirements is
to give them an offline access to this content. It is proposed that the
system admin will create a CD and give it to the users. The users should
then be able to do all of the above (browse and search) using the content in
CD.
Has anyone done something similar? Would appreciate all the suggestions.
Thanks,
