Don't forget the alternate trick of port(s) redirection. For some it is
simpler. I use jsvc on TAO Linux, a RedHat clone.

That is very interesting - I was not aware of that capability of jsvc.
Currently neither of my production operating systems (Mandriva and
RedHat) offer this as a package, but I'll check it out.
I'm running it on OpenSuSE and have previously run it on Debian and Fedora
Core 4. None of these distributions offer jsvc as a package either. The
source code for jsvc is included with the tomcat binaries in the bin
directory. You have to gunzip the file jsvc.tar.gz which will create the
subdirectries containing the source you'll need to compile. You'll then
need to compile jsvc and write your own init.d script. You'll also need
to edit server.xml and change the connector port from 8080 to 80. I'll
send you a copy of my init script you can used as a template if you'd like
but basically it's just /etc/skeleton altered to launc jsvc.
