Chris Thanks, but that does sound like overkill. I was looking more for a way to bundle my webapp with TC, and then just install that. With some preconfigured items; namely my database, my webapp in place and ready to run. Even if I had a requirement for the java to be installed, I think that would be a step closer to having what I want. I have read about

It might be overkill, but now that VMWare Player is free, you could create a virtual machine and bundle everything -- including a web browser -- together in a single file and just have them double-click on the icon to startup the whole thing. It only requires installation of VMWare Player, instead of Tomcat, Apache httpd, your app, etc. You also get to set up everything the way you want it, and get to reduce the possibility for error. Unfortunately, a full VM is generally very large, and many potential clients will not want to install VMware. Just a thought. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFUPlG9CaO5/Lv0PARAnm4AKCSrdQeBs7dvoKwPOxvUyRIT68QYQCeJfMD KUj9UGREdQo6FHuT/IKqpAU= =VM5e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
