Starting Swank when running under Tomcat

[Daniel Renfer]

I have been struggling with a way to start swank so that I could
connect to my server that is running under Tomcat. I just got it
working to my satisfaction, so I thought I would share it so that
others my save the hair I lost getting this to work.

Put this in your Servlet.clj file:

(defonce *swank* (ref false))

(when-not (or *compile-files*
@*swank*)
(clojure.main/with-bindings
(ignore-protocol-version "2008-12-09")
(start-server "/dev/null" :port 4005 :encoding "iso-latin-1-unix"))
(dosync
(ref-set *swank* true)))

comments welcome. Share and enjoy.
