java install tomcat as service

Question

I'm planning to develop an application installer which, as a part of installation, installs Apache Tomcat on Linux. Does anyone know how can I programmatically install Tomcat as service on Linux. Best

Answer 1

If you have Tomcat installed already, you probably need to put a start up script for Tomcat in /etc/init.d

This article has a decent start up script.
