How to run a local server/client application?

We want to transform a java application to a client/server form , but we want it to 开发者_JAVA百科run on the local machine (in the future it will support remote servers).

Is there a way to start tomcat/IIS with the application itself and be done? Or do I need to deploy the application into the tomcat/IIS and then access the url? Can I just add some tomcat jar to my application and make it a webserver too?

Thanks!
