Hi, I'm new to this list, and as I didn't find any history of it, I
don't know if this question's been already asked.

I'm trying to launch and stop tomcat from my own application, but I
found two issues.
The first one is that I can't launch tomcat from anywhere, even if I
specify the path to Tomcat :

	String[] tomcatParams = { "-h", Path_To_Tomcat };
	Tomcat.main (tomcatParams);

Here is the Exception that is thrown :

FATAL: configuration error
java.lang.Exception: Can't open config file:
/home/Guillaume/TomcatConfig/conf/server.xml due to:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:

I looked at the code, and I thought "-h" or "-home" were the parameters
to set the tomcat home directory.


The second issue I found is that when I stop Tomcat, my app stops
too.....
Here is the code I'm using :
	String[] tomcatParams = { "-stop" };
	Tomcat.main (tomcatParams);

Does anyone think about something obvious I didn't find ?

Thank you
