SMF for Tomcat? (Can contribute code)

Hi,

I'd like to see someone make SMF (Service Management Facility) support for Tomcat *official*. I've seen several people make their own versions. It would be nice for it to be a part of an optimised package like yours.

In particular, I'd like to see manifests that set instance-specific parameters, like in the following:

http://blog.curthread.org/solaris/smf/tomcatmanifest

This would mean I could eventually have multiple instances without much extra work. For serious production environments you almost always want multiple instances:

online Oct_06svc:/network/tomcat:1

online Oct_06svc:/network/tomcat:2

online Oct_06svc:/network/tomcat:3

(and so on.)

I'd also like to see it get the priv_ports permission so that it can bind port 80 without being root. See my own contribution on how to run the Orion app server under SMF:

I can contribute code if you want.

Ultimately I'd like to be able to download a standard package to install on the new T2000's at my workplace :-)
