How to make Tomcat portable?

Question

There was a resource here: http://www.javalobby.org/articles/tomcat2go/ but when trying to download the resource is no more available.

So how to make Tomcat portable ?

Answer 1

If you are referring to the windows version, just download the 32-bit zip file from here and run startup.bat. It should be portable enough, as it didn't require me to install any service / write to the registry. It does require one to set JAVA_HOME to a JDK (as far as I have heard, the JDK can be made portable as well).
