Thanks everyone for the help. I ended up making my original thread sleep indefinitely. I'm not happy about that, but it works.
There were a lot of replies asking "why". Again, this is an example project. Everything company specific and irrelevant to the example has been removed. It has no purpose other than to document for others. I'm attempting to demonstrate the following. * How to start your web app with embedded Tomcat from a Groovy script. This is useful in an IDE with while developing. * How to make an executable war with Maven that kicks off the above mentioned script. You can execute it directly "java -jar HelloWar.war". All you need is a machine with Java 6. Having these capabilities in our actual project has given us a much more pleasant developer experience, and trivialized deployments for testing. There was very little current documentation on any of this. I'll use this example project for a blog post and inter-company documentation so that others can learn from what I have done. Also, improvements are very welcome. Again, the code is here: http://github.com/claymccoy/ExecutableWar Thanks, Clay On 1/29/10 3:41 PM, "Caldarale, Charles R" <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:ch...@christopherschultz.net] > Subject: Re: Embedded tomcat example > > That's how Tomcat typically "waits forever" before stopping, > rather than stopping immediately after initialization. > > You could do something like that. > > Or, you could just do Thread.sleep forever. But the point Hassan raised still remains: if you don't have anything else to do, why run Tomcat embedded rather than normally?
