Basic Info for running Lucee

[markmoe...@psyberation.com]

I am looking for some basic info for running Lucee. 
I am not a java programmer.  I am having trouble locating basic information on how to run a program like Lucee.  Every tutorial I find assumes a knowledge of java applications.  Is it absolutely necessary to know java to set up a java server and run Lucee? 
In my mind, if I look at Jetty or Tomcat or Glassfish or JBoss, et al. there should be a page that says "To run your web application from a .jar or .war file, do these basic steps... ; etc.." but I am not finding anything like that. I am not sure whether I need to change my thinking on how java works or I am choosing the wrong search terms but I thought someone here could help me out.
I was thinking of following the OSX Installing Tomcat and Lucee using the WAR file Instructions but those are not annotated.  I am using FreeBSD on a purely command line server, so I wasn't sure if the instructions would carry over.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

I solved it.  I just wasn't searching properly.  I used jetty and found it to be straightforward.
Thank you to the group

Well done for figuring it out, many wouldn't :). I'd recommend a finding a book on the fundamentals of how Java servlets and servlet containers work. Not necessarily light reading, and *not* something *required* for getting started, but something that will give you a huge headstart in understanding how everything fits together. I'll see if I can dig the book that I read on the subject when I was wanting to grok it.

Hi Dominic,

Did you find the servlet book you were referring to? 

Kind Regards,
