Tomcat access in Coldfusion 11 - java

I just switched from using Coldfusion 9 to using Coldfusion 11. Coldfusion9 included JRun as its application server, Coldfusion 11 is supposed to be using a custom version of Tomcat.
When I was using Coldfusion 9 I was able to use the JRun backend to deploy a few Java application WAR files as well. With the switch to Tomcat I was thinking it would be possible to do the same, just using Tomcat instead of JRun.
As of now, I have not been able to find a way to access the Tomcat instance running Coldfusion 11. When looking through the normal documentation there appears to be a line in the Server.xml for tomcat to enable access over port 8500. When I uncomment this line in the file and restart the server, the port is still not showing anything on it.
Is it possible to do this on the custom Tomcat version? Has anyone else tried with any luck?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

How Does One Deploy a Jersey Application to a Remote Tomcat Server

I need to state up front that I am not a Java developer. So it is fair to assume that I know very little about the tooling etc. that Java dev's will be naturally familiar with.
So, I have created a Jersey web api (2.25.1) on my home server running Windows 2012. It serves data to a Xamarin application. I need to deploy this to a Linux server (Ubuntu) on AWS which my friend spun up.
At the moment, the only access I have is via SSH (Putty).
Tomcat (and Glassfish) have been installed on the Linux machine.
How do I go about deploying that application to that AWS server?
The official Jersey documentation seems to be MIA, and my Googling efforts don't yield much. There's a lot of SO questions with a similar title to this one. But I have not found any of the answers (and in many cases, questions) helpful to my cause.
Cheers
I assume that you are using maven to create your jersey web app .
Upon build you will get a *.war file .Copy the same to tomcat/webapps folder .
Start your tomcat then.
To take your file there on remote use winscp tool with your ssh credentials.

How to run java-websocket server in webapp

I am trying to use Websockets for my webapp, for pushing data from server to browser. I am using Java 1.6 (Can not upgrade to java 1.7 due to other dependencies) and I need this to work on any containers like Tomcat, WebLogic, JBoss, etc...
Two libraries I could found are –
“java-websocket” – http://java-websocket.org/
“javax.websocket” –
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/websocket/javax.websocket-api/1.0/
Server example provided with “java-websocket” is like a standalone Java Program. But I am trying to find a solution which integrates into my webapp.
My webapp address looks like this - http://localhost:8080/demo i.e. runs on say port 8080. However, java-websocket Server needs a port to start. Which means it does not interrelate well into my webapp.
Second library “javax.websocket” which works very well in a webapp context. But I cannot use it because it needs Java 1.7, and I am using Java 1.6.
Does anyone know whether it is possible at all to use “java-websocket” in webapp context? Or may be is there any other better library for this need which works with Java 1.6?
Thank you in advance.

Eclipse and remote Tomcat 8 server

After some time of research I didn't find a complete answer to this. My scenario is as follow:
1 Windows client with Eclipse.
1 Debian server with Tomcat 8.
The idea is to use the remote Tomcat server in the Windows machine to avoiding install the local Tomcat plugin on it, and deploy the projects directly to the remote server vía Eclipse. Is this possible?
As the information I've read, I'm afraid that the local Tomcat server is mandatory in order to get access to de Java Servlets API (package javax.servlet.*). I have a project in Eclipse without any Tomcat (remote nor local) and this package is not available so can't compile.
So, there is a way to achieve what I want? I'm a bit lost in this, so may I have some misleading concepts and simply this is not possible for some good reason :).
Thank you in advance.

Running portable web services application server

I need portable container for running web services as server. JSON as a response. The server application must be able to start up using .bat script under Windows. Machine running the server must have only Java Runtime Enviroment installed, no other stuff required.
Axis2 on top of Tomcat do not seem like simple portable web server. What are the other alternatives?
UPDATE:
How come no one offered?
com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer;
and
com.sun.jersey.api.container.httpserver.HttpServerFactory;
Jetty is a good option.
Another very lightweight option is fluent-http.
I'm not that familiar with Axis2, but as far as I know you can use embedded tomcat to achieve this with whichever frameworks you please.
Take a look at the tomcat maven plugin which I believe will even generate your application as a jar containing embedded tomcat in the latest version.

Deploy a Java web application on Windows Server 2003

This is my first post on stackoverflow, so please excuse me if my question is stupid, in the wrong tags, not specific enough and just tell me how to improve my post ! I usually find all the answers I need going through the previously asked questions - and thank a lot the stack overflow community for this ! -, but not this time !
So, I'm student and I'm currently developping a java2EE web application to help a compagny managing its moulds stocks. I used struts2 framework to develop the application (which is called MMS) and it runs nicely on my personnal environment which is :
OS : windows7, 64 bits, service pack 1
Application Server : Apache Tomcat 7.0.27 to make MMS run on localhost
Database server : Wampserver2.2d to store the database of MMS
Java : Java JRE7 (jre_7u4-windows-x64)
IDE : Eclipse Java EE indigo sr2
Now I need to deploy my application on my employer's server. They gave me an access through the microsoft remote desktop tool to a windows 2003 server whose configurations are :
Microsoft windows server 2003 entreprise edition
Service Pack 2
My question is simple : how do I go from an application running well on my own environment to an application running on their server and accessible to their employees within their intranet ? Surprisingly enough I did not find any tutorial explaining how to do this. The documentation I found so far are the following :
Tomcat documentation : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/deployer-howto.html
Microsoft documentation : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa478983.aspx
Some other documentation explaining some of the logic (could not post the link because I'm a new user !)
My guess is :
First I need to prepare the environment, ie : install java, a servlet application server, and a MySQL server on windows 2003 server. For this I'd be tempted to install java JRE7, tomcat7, and wampserver2.2 on the windows 2003 server they gave me using the same .EXE I used on my PC.
Deploy MMS in the servelet application server : For this I think I could just drop the .WAR of MMS (created with Eclipse) on the webapp folder of tomcat.
Deploy my DB on the MySQL server : For this I'm thinking of exporting my DB from my computer and import it to the server using PHPmyAdmin (and a .SQL file)
Finally change the context.xml of MMS to make it able to communicate with its new DB.
Would this be enough to allow the employees of the societe I'm working for to access the web appication through their web browser (within the intranet of the compagny only) ?
Any anwser telling if I'm going on the write direction, if I forgot anything to do, giving advice, etc. would be truely appreciated :)
Thank you very much in advance !
Here is a generic solution I would suggest. You can simply install the wamp server package and the tomcat for windows. Upload your war file and start up mysql db, apache and tomcat services. Wamp server should come with php, mysql and phpmyadmin for your mysql. If you are good with batch file, you can make a batch file if you want to automate start, stop and restart all services.
