Hai, Iam new to mailing list and I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place..
Iam a system administrator and my development team creates application in JAVA that are been hosted on tomcat web-servers. While hosting the application, I was asked to explore the feasibility on the below points 1. Can I have centralized web-apps directory for multiple tomcat instances hosted on the same or different servers. ie tomcat1 running on server1 and tomcat2 running on server2. Both servers are been assigned a common storage folder (via NFS) named "webstore" which has been mapped to both servers webapps directories. Now my query is upon starting tomcat instances on both servers, I should receive a working instance of my application on both servers. Is this possible in any way or is there any other recommended method that I should follow. Providing individual webapps folder to all tomcat instances would be a waste of storage space for our project as our application warsize is large. I have searched the internet and found nothing clarifying my point. Hence I though to post here and collect your vaild comments. 2. Deploying a patched/updated web application to the current live production tomcat server should require least deployment time. For us, it takes too long to update the web application war file on most of our servers. Hence we have to shutdown the server, update the new war file and then starts up tomcat. Is there any best practices that I should follow so that I can reduce the deployment time to minimum. -- Thank You Best regards Vinu Vibhu Sobhana --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
