Actually, I believe that JBoss uses JMX-embedding (I know that the JMX-embedding was largely developed to help JBoss, but I've never cared enough to actually look through the JBoss code :). > Is this possible? If you want it to start exactly like it would normally, then of course you could always just create in instance of Bootstrap, and call init and start on it (this is what jsvc does). Otherwise, you probably want to extend Catalina instead of Embedded and override load() so that you can specify alternate locations for server.xml and add Digester rules to do customizations that are more then just setting attributes. Setting the lib directories is just a matter of defining the CL that you load Catalina from, and passing it the "shared" CL to setParentClassLoader. Changing the location of where Tomcat looks for the context.xml files is more work, since you'd have to extend HostConfig, and then remove the one that Tomcat added, and add yours instead. > > Mike Wannamaker > Senior Software Developer > Hummingbird Ltd. > 552 Princess St, Kingston, ON, K7L 1C7 > Tel: (613) 548-4355 x4535 > Fax (613) 548-7801 > E-Mail: Mike Wannamaker > > www.hummingbird.com > > IMPORTANT NOTICE: This communication is privileged and contains > confidential > information for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
