There's other ways to install Tomcat on a Mac, but this is pretty painless, especially if you just need the cat to check out another package, like e.g., blojsom. It's possible to get this up and running without even looking at the docs, just keep track of the AppleScript start and stop scripts.

Needs a StartupItem, though. Here's step one...<pre>
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.common
##
# Start up the Tomcat server on Mac OS X
#
#
StartService ()
{
ConsoleMessage "Starting Tomcat server..."
/Library/Scripts/Tomcat/start_tomcat 2>&1 >/dev/null
}
StopService()
{
ConsoleMessage "Stopping Tomcat server..."
/Library/Scripts/Tomcat/stop_tomcat 2>&1 >/dev/null
}
RestartService ()
{
StopService
StartService
}
RunService "$1"
</pre>

By default, Applescripts (10.3 & 10.4-compatible) are installed (when you install the second starter/stopper package, in /Library/Scripts/Tomcat, as well as 2 shell scripts and 2 Automator actions (10.4 required).After downloading and decompressing the .DMG, you see a folder called "Scripts". Those are the same scripts (sans shell scripts); you can move those wherever you want; for conveniences' sake!
If you have any suggestions, just give a holler!
Thanks,
SW
