how to know whether tomcat server is up or not..?
800426Sep 16 2009 — edited Sep 16 2009I have developed a java webstart application.In that,I need to include a component in a frame that shows whether the appplication is connected to the server(tomcat) or not.If it is connected to server,then a green light is up,if not red light is up.It should show the connection status althrough the application.I browsed through the apache documentation of Catalina class, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-oc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/startup/Catalina.html ,thinking that it could help me out.But I couldn't find it useful.So,I need a way to know whether the application is connected to server or not.Is there anyway to do it?Thanks in advance..!
