Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

hi all ! well Im planing since I finished my project to create a installer for the users. I must take into count that most of the users will be non experienced, so I was thinking in making a installer that has already build or ask for installation of this programs & their proper configuration (PHP,Mysql,etc), rather than waiting for a customer to do it. That way I would avoid all kind of troubles with unexperienced users.

So my first question is ... is possible to load the WAR file and make the program run without using tomcats interface?

Or wich would be the best way to do it?

Thanks a lot for any feedback.
