The only real way that I could think to do this (would looking into
the AJP12 and AJP13 specs) is to do a program/script thing that would:
        while (true) {
                request http://localhost:8080
                if request not valid
                tomcat start
        }

        It doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult.  Doing it in a
shell script might be a little tricky.  (Can you make lynx get only one page
and return an error code if the URL is not responding?)

        Just a few thoughts.

My Apache/Jserv app serves only dynamic requests, but I continue to front 
it with Apache because Apache will restart Jserv if it dies (if started in 
automatic mode.) I have thought of switching to Tomcat standalone, but is 
there a way to replace that restart-on-failure feature?
