Description

I couldn't get the installer to work in my environment. It came back saying it couldn't find my catalina.sh file. Not sure why, but that's OK, as
my Tomcat installation is mildly tweaked so I can keep all (or as many as possible) of the Tomcat distribution files "stock". And so a manual integration is vastly preferable to me.

By Reading The Friendly Source for Installer.java I figured out that I needed the Tomcat-specific loader JAR file and Listener classname.

Also figured out the catalina.sh addition, and put that in my environment setup script (i.e. set the -javaagent in JAVA_OPTS prior to calling catalina.sh.)

All I have left to do is extract the openejb.conf and logging.properties files into my $CATALINA_HOME/conf (sourced, respectively, from default.openejb.conf and logging.properties in the openejb-core-3.1.jar file.)

For the benefit of Unix hack SA dinosaurs like me, it would be great to have a documented/supported recipe for a manual integration.
