embedded Tomcat 6 - shut down after start

Question

I wanna use an embedded Tomcat V6. The code works perfectly, but only as long as the programm is running. So if there is no Thread.Sleep it will exit immediately, otherwiese keep on running till the time is up.

How can I keep the emmbedded Tomcat alive. setAwait(true) should deal with this, shouldn't it? But i does not work. Tried to figure out more about this, but there is nothing in the description. Any other ideas?

Answer 1

If you want your embedded Tomcat to run indefinitively you will need some code to handle outside administrative requests (like restart, shutdown, stuff like that). That will go in your main thread, incidentially keeping the Tomcat instance alive.
