How to manage Tomcat via Java

Question

i\'m looking for a way to manage tomcat (on localhost) programmatically via java. I want to start/stop tomcat and deploy WARs.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use java Runtime class to call a bat file. make sure User running java process has rights to start and stop tomcat.

try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/program files/tomcat/bin/startup.bat");
} catch(IOException e) {System.out.println("exception");}
