With Tomcat running as a daemon or background process (version isn't relevant), there is no indication that it's running in the dock on the user interface for Mac OS X. When the PDF servlet I've written is called, the Mac GUI launches, or tries to launch, a second iteration of Tomcat, and an icon shows up in the dock. Looking at my process list, only one version of Tomcat is running. If I switch to the java application exposed in the dock and "Quit", the only instance of Tomcat goes away, with nothing in catalina.out. The PDF servlet works fine, and continues to work fine. No problems there.
I can assume only one thing, and that is iText is somehow making the GUI aware of the Tomcat process and is giving the user an interface to it. Doesn't bother me, but my wife (yes, she uses my devstage server to browse the web...grrr) will sometimes log out, which kills the process. Besides, who wants the beautiful Mac GUI cluttered with useless stuff? :) Has anyone heard of this? I have been looking for months and have not found even one mention of it. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
