A few days ago someone was asking about a read-only distro for tomcat java etc.
Note, this isn't an endorsement, just something I came across and thought others might be interested in... http://www.enteract.com/~cks/distributopia/mintc/ Description MinTC is a special-purpose servlet container designed to run from inside your application's jar file. It requires no local file system access, and can execute servlets and serve static content from within the jar. MinTC uses Tomcat 4 [1] framework code, but it isn't a general purpose replacement for Tomcat. It's ideal for special situations like web-enabling your application's admin interface, or for packaging your webapp as a standalone application. MinTC differs from Catalina's "Embedded" class. Embedded is a convenience API that provides low-level control over a full Catalina installation. MinTC is a relatively small set of classes that can be deployed along with all your webapp classes and content in a single executable jar. MinTC pre-deploys your web application (see the "Developer Documention" link in the sidebar), so it starts fast. And since misconfigurations are discovered at build time, you don't have to worry about your users seeing container configuration errors. MinTC isn't finished yet. This alpha prerelease is meant to encourage feedback, but you shouldn't depend on it for real work quite yet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
