IDEA starting tomcat. Is it possible NOT to start it?

You have to create a remote run configuration instead of a local run
configuration. (Remote means the server is not controlled by IDEA, even
if it is installed on the same machine.)

Hi

I've setup IDEA to run my JSP project, and I have integrated it with tomcat, but the problem is, everytime I run the project, IDEA starts the tomcat server, and opens the browser page, and when I stop the project, it stops the tomcat server. So my question is if there is any way I could run the project with the tomcat server already running (as a windows server or manually launched) and IDEA would just show the browser page, neither starting nor stoping the tomcat server?
I am using IDEA 4.5.1 and tomcat 4.0.6
Thanks.

Excelent, that was just what I wanted, thank you very much!
