This is a method of installing and running Tomcat in a way that is portable and part of the BonsaiFramework BonsaiFramework 0FS approach. Tar (zip) up the directory and move your entire application server or duplicate it with a copy command.

Setting up and running Tomcat with serveradmin has the advantage that you can manage the Application server without having to go into root. We want to ensure that only serveradmin starts Tomcat to prevent any issues with permissions.
For example, once you start Tomcat as root you may find that log files spawned from that during startup can no longer be managed by serveradmin. Also, running Tomcat as serveradmin rather than root is safer from a security standpoint.

I may have come up with a better strategy where others can not execute and the below script is no longer necessary. hmm.... got to test and ensure root can not override this. |
First login as serveradmin. All modification to Tomcat and running of tomcat will happen as serveradmin.
