I think you need to ask yourself what is most important: portability and being self-contained, or running the fastest. If you want it to run fast, you'll want to run natively /and/ avoid installing anything on the client's computer: I certainly wouldn't let you install something on my computer for a quickie demonstration. That will limit your options to those architectures that are supported by MySQL (currently Microsoft Windows, most *NIX platforms, and Mac OS X). Tomcat itself is trivial to run in a "portable" way, since Tomcata figures out its own installation directory at start-up and runs everything relative to that. The problem might be the JVM: I've never tried to run a non-installed JVM on Microsoft Windows, but it runs perfectly well on a *NIX machine without any formal installation. If you want a foolproof environment, go for a virtualized server: install everything you need, including your webapp, and then just fire up the VM when doing demonstrations. You could even put a web browser, X environment, etc. all on your USB memory stick and make the thing bootable: simply insert the stick and reboot the client's computer: no interference (aside from the reboot, of course) and you know your environment will be sane. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkueX5UACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDPRwCeJcRjkGVZUwYdSgCSKuxNAbAt 6YQAnjDWTR5J7/Rm7rQmlgobMj3Qh46f =bkdp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
