Hello Matthias, What you described looks like the manual way of doing things, however, depending on your Plesk license, it can help you even more. For example, if you have the Parallels Plesk Power Pack feature enabled (it usually costs extra per month depending on your provider), you can then install and manage Tomcat directly through your Plesk panel. What this means is that you should be able to add XWiki as a webapp to the Tomcat service that Plesk installs, and then use Plesk to start/stop/manage the Tomcat instance. Further details about the PowerPack can be found on the Parallels Documentation available on http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/power-pack/ , and your provider's support services should be able to answer further questions like pricing, installation instructions, and running Java applications through the Plesk-managed Tomcat if you do decide to go that way. As a side note, if you do decide to go for the manual way you described, you might want to check XInit, a tool that the XWiki SAS Platform Team developed and maintains, which should help you auto-start the Tomcat instance with your preferred parameters on system boot, monitor your process and actual website, and lots of other neat things. Check it out on https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xinit . Good luck!
