RE: Why and How Tomcat before Apache?

[Li, Jerry]

Hi, All:

Your help is highly appreciated for the following questions.

1. Does Tomcat have web-based administration functionality? 

We want to let the Tomcat administrator start/stop Tomcat through a
Web-based interface. I have searched the mail archives, and found somebody
starting working on it in April. Is it available now? If yes, where could I
get it?

2. where is the right location to put properties files

Our application uses a single properties file: system.properties. We have
found that we have to put system.properties into WEB-INF/classes, otherwise,
Tomcat could not find it.

We have tried to put it into WEB-INF/lib and put WEB-INF/lib into tomcat's
classpath ( the classpath in tomcat.bat under <tomcat_home>/bin), but tomcat
still could not find it. However, if put it into WEB-INF/classes, tomcat
will find it.

thanks,

Jerry
