Hi Johnny, Thanks for the answer but I think I didn't explain my problem correctly. I need the following situation: 1. a java application has to run continiously outside tomcat (when tomcat crashes the application must be still running). This application runs in its own virtual machine (VM1). 2. I have also Axis2 webservices that have to have access to the objects in VM1. These webservices run inside Tomcat. However Tomcat runs in its own virtual machine (VM2). So I have a problem. Question: How to be able to run the java appplication (outside tomcat), and the Axis2 webservices (inside tomcat), in the same virtual machine thanks in advance Slobodanka

Can you please tell me : 1. where should I stop Java executable inside Tomcat directory structure? 2. which configuration file and what should I configure inside Tomecat if I want to run executable java application during sturtup of Tomcat? Thanks in advance, Slobodanka Dimitrijevic ============= Slobodanka just try this and you'll get the idea I use NB but could be done with any IDE... 1) Make a Java application... normal Java application with some classes in it. Compile it and (if its NB its an executable) double click on the JAR file (in the DIST folder) It will run. 2) Now make a web project based on TC, in the libraries "select the application" that you made before. Make a little web page that uses one of the classes in the application Compile it.... it will give you a WAR file and inside that war file... will be your application. Now you got one war file with the application in it... and the application can run on its own as well, which is what I think you asking? So if a user unzips the war file... they can run the application. So now you have 2 in one. You'll get the idea by just seeing where you application is used in the war. So outside its a normal application, but inside the War its being used like a library. The web app has extra stuff, like web.xml and yada yada... but it doesnt care, to it.... the application JAR is just a lib. Then you play from there.... decide what classes you want to put where. Its a design thing... not some web xml that you set. Jars are zip files... they can be applications or libs... or a mix. You cant just drop an application into tomcat and expect it to appear in a web page... but you can share stuff. The trick... make a application JAR.... the use that as a lib in TC.... NB will pack it for you... no thinking required ;) --------- The POJO Application Server is a completely different animal, and you'll have to ask specific questions in their mailing list for that. But that does literally allow you to drop the application into it, and the UI side of that application (not a web service) literally jumps out of the browser. But the applications have to be designed for that. Either way... there is some design to do.
