There are other groups that are more focused to this topic,
e.g. the Usenet newsgroups comp.lang.java.*

You should have a look into the logfiles of the tomcat-server, in the
first place into the request-log. You should find a request for the
RemoteServiceServlet and the response-code the server was returning.
If it was a 404, the servlet is not installed or the path is different
from the one you build in your application. If it was 500, the servlet
is choking and you should find a log-entry in the catalina-log together
with a stacktrace showing you where exactly the choking did happen.

No, you need to start a virtual machine, but that would be possible
even by initiating a bash-based CGI-script doing the java-call ;-)
Tomcat contains a servlet-handler allowing you to deploy java-based
web-applications but there are others like Jetty as well.
