Charles, The main reason to run under Tomcat for me would be when I update the database, I'd like to use a JNDI connection pool for my dataaccess class. I'm also much more familiar with Tomcat than a standalone java app, although I'm not committed to using it. Being able to port it over to another servlet container would be helpful also. Most of our clients will have Sybase's EA Server. I've changed my UDPServer class to implement start() stop() and run() methods. I'd like to have it be a service that starts when Tomcat does, but if not, I can access via a webpage and start/stop it.
