Product Description:

Install and Manage Multiple Jakarta Tomcats


Easily start, stop and restart your Tomcats

CatSlapper makes controlling Tomcat as easy as pushing a button. How many times have you tried to control one Tomcat only to find out your environment was set to control a different one? Well you can forget about that hassle from now on. CatSlapper takes the pain out of managing multiple Tomcats.


Run Kitty, run

Ever write a StartupItem by hand? Forget just how to do it? You'll never have to do it again. CatSlapper can enable or disable a StartupItem with the click of a button. And CatSlapper will check to make sure StartupItems are in sync whenever you make a change to a configuration and whenever it starts up.


Know when somethin' just ain't right

For the novice—and even the seasoned among us—knowing what exactly isn't working with a Tomcat instance can be tricky. CatSlapper makes this easier by checking configurations for common errors and overlaps and providing you with detailed feedback and steps to take to correct the problem.


A Tomcat here, a Tomcat there—go crazy

You might just get carried away installing Tomcat since CatSlapper makes it so easy. You configure and install a Tomcat instance and insert it into CatSlapper's database all in one simple step. Start your own hosting operation for goodness sake!

CatSlapper ReviewEasiest way to develop with Tomcat - Version: 1.0.1, 2/20/2006 11:51AM PST

metafeather1
I have used this app for a while and it has proven itself to me as the easiest way to just get Tomcat running so you can get on with your development.

You need to know a little about Tomcat (nothing a standard tutorial won't cover like the one at Apple Dev), and it's a little behind with Tomcat v5.0, but has no problems dealing with exisiting hand-rolled, Fink or DarwinPorts installs of v5.5, and made my transition to using Java 1.5 effortless.

Being able to switch between installs for personal or work development by hitting a few buttons is also excellent.

The level of integration and the desktop widget easily surpasses the default web admin app or using Eclipse to manage an instance, and is much prefered to manageing multiple Terminal windows (yes even with screen)

Well worth a few dollars for the time saved, and overall a solidly thought out app - looking forward to the new features.
