How to start and stop an Tomcat container with Java?

Question

I have a Maven project that starts a tomcat container for pre-integration-tests (jUnit Tests). Most of my tests require that the web-application under tests is restarted. So

Answer 1

I'm using follow method:

private static final String TOMCAT = "D:/test_tomcat";
@BeforeClass
public static void runTomcat() {
    bootstrap = new Bootstrap();
    bootstrap.setCatalinaHome(TOMCAT);
    try {
        bootstrap.start();          
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        fail("Не удалось запустить Tomcat");
    }
}

@AfterClass
public static void stopTomcat() {
    try {
        bootstrap.stop();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

But is method have a one problem - I need copy WAR file in 'webapps' directory every time have change source code. I thing what copy my class from classpath in web-inf and copy 'jar' from classpath in web-inf/lib.
