Dear Frank, I don't agree that this is "better". It will trigger the same things in the backend in the end. And obviously don't need the Tomcat Connector to be available.
This might be important in situation with some malfunctions caused by near-OOM or out-of-request-workers (caused by long running or blocked requests). In my Tomcat farm control scripts, I also never use the "shutdown port" mechanism to (graceful) stop the Tomcat but send a SIGTERM to the JVM. Again, this will do the same thing but need much less to be fuctional. And if a graceful shutdown will fail, one even need to SIGKILL the JVM. >-----Original Message----- >From: Frank Schullerer [mailto:schulle...@googlemail.com.INVALID] >Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2018 4:06 PM >To: users@tomcat.apache.org >Subject: Re: Using tomcat manager to deploy to several services > >Hello, > >thanks for the answer.
