Greetings -- As I announces about a week ago, as a part of my research, I have developed a mechanism for terminating individual Tomcat webapps (at the context level) called soft termination. For your further enjoyment, I've taken the liberty of setting up a demo install of my soft termination system. The demo install is at:
http://puppet.cs.rice.edu:8080/ In particular, the following URL runs an infinite loop that prints the current time each second (note it does this with a "while(true)" and no sleeps): http://puppet.cs.rice.edu:8080/examples/servlet/ExceptionExample And this URL prints the current system status of the machine in question (updated once per second): http://www.cs.rice.edu/~arudys/loadavg.html Every 10 seconds, termination of the examples webapp is triggered. Note that it is triggered by updating the modification date of the ExceptionExample.class file (forcing a reload which terminates the old webapp) and not from within Tomcat. Once again, links for downloading the code and to the journal article describing soft termination can be found off this site: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~arudys/software/#softterm And feel free to badger me with any questions you see fit. Enjoy. Be nice. Algis Rudys -- Algis Rudys Rice University [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science "Heart has nothing to do with it anymore.
