Following Filip's example :-) Please check http://people.apache.org/~costin/startup/ for a new class I would like to add to tomcat(head), and an associated example/unit test. It allows a jetty-like mode of programmatic loading/config of tomcat, without any config file.
I know the 'official' way to run tomcat is using server.xml, and embedding via JMX - but this mode is quite convenient in many cases. Any problems with naming the class 'Tomcat' ? Easy to rename, but since this will be directly used I like to keep it with this name. If no strong objection - I'll submit it, and then you can make any adjustments to the API (method names, etc) if you have other preferences. Costin
