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.

Cheers

Gregor
