We have a server-side app that we'd like to ship with an easy-to-use demo. We'll run an installer that copies Tomcat and a webapp to a local directory, and then we'd like to launch Tomcat, launch a browser, and navigate to the webapp's home page. (We're only concerned about Windows deployment at the moment; we assume that most Linux users are sophisticated enough to get the system going on their own).
The best option I've come up with is a batch file that includes the following: start readme.html cd tomcat-4.1\bin startup.bat This seems to work -- start readme.html launches the browser, and startup.bat starts Tomcat. The problem is that the console window for Tomcat appears in front of the browser. Ideally I'd like the console window to be minimized. Does anyone have a better way to do this? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
