Take a look at the Scarab web application - it builds a Tomcat sandbox as part of the install process. You might be able to steal some of their ideas when deploying your app. I think the install process is pretty simple once you find the right document. With Scarab, you do need to edit a build.properties file before installing but you could even wrap a GUI around that if you wanted to.
Just a heads up - I'm fairly certain you're going to run into licensing issues distributing mysql. Maybe it's as simple as including their license, but I thought Scarab left mysql out of the distribution for licensing reasons. Scarab is set up to work with several different databases, the reason might have been as simple as that. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

We were thinking of using mysql as the db and either JBoss or Tomcat as the application server. We would need to include the db and app server because our customers are not technical at all and most of them don't currently have servers in their stores. Is there anyone out there that has accomplished something similar? If so, could you email me directly since this doesn't really pertain to struts, except for the fact that the application uses the framework.
