Install Tomcat remotely (on a digital ocean server?)

Question

From a Java app, I'd like to programmatically:

1. start a digital ocean server [EDIT: on LINUX debian]
2. install Tomcat on this server [EDIT: this step must be executed remotely, from my Java app]
3. upload an existing war file to the server and deploy it on Tomcat

I have found all details on SO on how to do 1. an 3., but not 2. ?

Answer 1

if you have ssh access to remote server, you can get a remote shell in you java app using java secure channel lib and run appropriate command to install tomcat (may be : sudo apt-get install tomcat7 ). example for ssh connection from java could be found here .
