A web app is a web app, and the "classes" directory is only one part of it. Pretty much any normal web app includes exposed content like images, stylesheets, javascript.

1) don't post config files full of commented-out example stuff. We've

2) are you sure your Tomcat instance has started correctly? You can

Do you have any references to substantiate that?

You need to write (or find) a proxy/reverse-proxy servlet. Alternatively, you could use Apache httpd that purpose.

OK, I haven't encountered an NFS cluster in the wild, but apparently they exist.

Runtime.exec("/usr/bin/rsync") -- though you may want to instead
invoke a script file containing the appropriate rsync arguments.
This works fine. I've even used rsync's "dry-run" mode to create a list
of files that differed between two systems (e.g. staging and production)
to generate a form page and allow the user to pick which ones to sync.

A user-agent has *no* obligation to use any given font, or any font at all. If I'm looking at your page in Lynx, the font will be whatever my own terminal window settings specify, be it Comic Sans or Copperplate Gothic Bold. If I use wget to grab a page and store it into a file or a DB, there is no "font" information involved at any point whatsoever -- it's just character data in some specified (or assumed!) encoding. If a user-agent is intended to generate a visual display /and/ has a font available to it with a glyph matching a specified code-point in a specified encoding, great. If not -- so sorry. Doesn't matter whether you were using HTML entities or numeric representation: is it.

Running the shutdown script doesn't guarantee anything -- there are any number of reasons why your Tomcat instance wouldn't shut down (or at least, not right away).
