Description

I am using the exec-war goal of tomcat7-maven-plugin version 2.1 (not 2.2 because of MTOMCAT-263) to create a jar artifact which contains a tomcat 7 with the deployed war of my project. Works fine.

However, in the target environment there is no possibility of a Ctrl+C (to shutdown gracefully). Therefore I wish some other way to commit a shutdown signal, e.g. by calling the jar again, but with some kind of stop parameter like this:

java -jar target/standalone.jar stop
