Hi to all, You should all know that there is a very good Tomcat 3.3/4.0 plugin for the OSS IDE eclipse (www.eclipse.org), available at http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/.
This plugin allow eclipse developper to launch Tomcat from the IDE, stop, restart and configure many parameters like tomcat_home. Tomcat could be a binary version installed on your disk or a project on the IDE, allowing you to debug it from IDE. I'm discussing with the plugin developper, Bruno Leroux, to see if it could be possible to add some functionnalities to the plugin to defines webapps to be used, which could be part of the project workbench, and why not override some of the server.xml settings like http, ajp listen ports, works and log dir. And that could be very usefull for eclipse developpers, but also for sites which could use it to have multiples instances running in production from a common location, but with differents settings. It could allow us to launch many different instances of Tomcat, a major functionnality found on WebSphere, where you got a single admin interface which launch many JVM, on local machine or remote systems, each JVM running a copy of websphere. And that could be a real bonus for tomcat, if we later develop a tomcat launcher service which could do that, via a native/jni daemon. In that case we need to add parameters in tomcat command line (vm or args) to do such overriding. I was thinking to add parms like : -override ajp13@8109 -override ajp12@8107 -override http@8180 -override logs@/var/tomcat3/logsxxx -override works@/var/tomcat3/worksxxx -addwebapp /var/tomcat3/webappxxx -addwebapp /var/tomcat3/webappyyy Do you agree on these modifications ? If so I start to see where to do the modifications on TC 3.3, some recommandations will be greatly usefull, but who could the same for TC 4.0 ? - Henri Gomez ___[_]____ EMAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] (. .)
