Hi again,
I am not the commercial guy, so I won't put any advertisments... ;-)
We used the command 'forrest webapp'.
We deployed the generated webapp under Tomcat only once.
We don't have to recreate any webapp when changing the XML sources; all
changes are immediately visible.
Regards,
Gunther

Hi!
With 'forrest war' (and friends) you create a webapp that you may
deploy in Tomcat but it is necessary to re-create it everytime
there are changes in the XML sources.
Having 'forrest run' as a service the well-known and excellent
in-place editing and on-demand rendering features [1] of Forrest
work still the same. (End of advertisement)

apparently http://forums.firedaemon.com/viewtopic.php?t=65 describes the

Hi all,
I am not sure if this solves the same problem, but in my opinion there
is a non commercial solution.
If you run forrest as a webapp inside Tomcat, I think it is possible
to start Tomcat as a service.
See http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/JavaServiceWrapper.

Hi All!
We found a little program (commercial, though: $US 35) that
starts even batch files as windows service: Firedaemon [1].
I checked it with Forrest (see screen shots in attachment)
and it works in live mode ('forrest run'), great!
We (i.e. our customers) use it to deploy Forrest on a central
server without the need to leave the DOS box open.
Maybe somebody else may find it useful, too.
