Thanx for the hints... what I still can't figure out is how to put
the /conf/ directory in CATALINA_HOME instead of CATALINA_BASE ....
or at least configure where it looks for it...

Subject: Using Tomcat over NFS over multiple hosts, want to separate
locations of directories
Hello folks
I am currently trying to convert from Resin Pro 3.0.17 to Tomcat
5.5. We
have several Solaris 9 machines and we generally place applications
in a NFS
mounted "/usr/dist/" directory, which is RO for the web application
servers.
I have a local link, /usr/resin -> /usr/dist/pkgs/resin
which points to /usr/dist/pkgs/resin/ -> vers/resin-pro-3.0.17 so
that I
can easily install a new version of resin by changing that link. I
have my
RESIN_HOME=/usr/resin, which is the NFS mount and my
SERVER_ROOT=/usr/local/resin, which is a local directory. In my
resin.conf,
I use
<web-app-deploy path="/w/${mode}/warfiles"
expand-path="/usr/local/resin/webapps"/>
to have Resin look on another NFS mounted directory "/w" for its
warfiles,
which it expands in the locally mounted /usr/local/resin.
This setup allows me to have my resin config files, binaries, shared
libraries, etc, on a central NFS server, my warfiles on another NFS
server
and the only thing I need to have local is the webapps dir where it
explodes
the war files, and cache and session. I am thus able to turn a
machine into
a "resin server" by copying over one rc file, which when invoked
creates the
/usr/local/resin dir and pulls everything else it needs off of NFS.
I've been scouring the web for days trying to figure out how to make
Tomcat do the same thing, but can't for the life of me figure out
how... the
two main problems I run into is the inability to separate the web
app deploy
path, i.e. where it LOOKS for the warfiles and the expand path,
where it
expands them. The other problem is wanting to put the conf/ files
in a
different location from the webapp/ files. $CATALINA_BASE seems to
be the
extent to which you can separate things, and it wants to put conf,
logs,
shared, webapps. work. temp together...
So.... my question is how in Tomcat do I put the bin/ common/ conf/
server/ and shared/ directories in one location (NFS mounted RO)
the temp/
webapps/ and work / locally ; logs/ (all of them, including
catalina.out)
in a sepate location NOT in $CATALINA_BASE or HOME; AND put the
location
Tomcat looks for new .war files in another NFS mounted location.
I know I could do it all with sym-links, but god that would be
messy. Any
suggestions?
