I just did exactly the same for some of our international clients, that do not have internet-access / slow internet-connections.
However, I did that for windows only. The procedure as follows: - I used a free installer (google for InnoSetup), you can also choose your preferred cross-platform-installer, if you like - Unpack tomcat (the installation-zip or tar) to the installation-source-directory - change, if you like, the port from 8080 to 80 - move your war-archives to $catalina_home/webapps - as a database, I used memory-based HSQLDB since it doesn't require an additional JVM and it's pretty easy to include it as a bundle into tomcat - just another jar-archive - pack Tomcat and your database it with the installer-program - tell the installer-program to run $catalina_home/bin/service.bat to install Tomcat as a service, in case you're running windows - tell your installer to create some nice start-menue-entries like "your app -> http://localhost/yourapp" That's it so far.
