Embedded Tomcat

I've developed an application that currently uses a proprietary
protocol to communicate. I'd like to switch to using http so I can also
web enable communication (i.e. offer the ability to perform action from
a web browser).

I downloaded the TomCat embedded package but I cannot find Javadocs for
the API. I've found some examples on the web but they are incomplete
and seem to be based on an older TomCat version.

Does anyone know if there are Javadocs available or recommend anyother
way to embedded https services? I'd like to be able to use jsp, etc so
a webserver would be better than coding directly using the builtin JDK
http libraries.

I use Jetty instead. A couple of years ago, when we made the decision, it
was much easier to embed than Tomcat. http://jetty.mortbay.org

Robert,

As a last resort, download the source and build files for embedded
tomcat (should be available as it is open source). Then you can build
the API docs yourself.

HTH,
Ray
