I am a relative noobie when it comes to using the Tomcat software and have a few questions. I have been reading these threads for a few weeks now and I know that a lot of the things discussed on here are out of my league, but I just wanted to know what a few of you would do in my situation.
OK we administer databases for higher education institutions, we also set up and support all software for the databases. This software includes web access software. We have 7 different clients, 14 databases(1 prod and 1 test for each client), and 14 web sites for accessing information 1 for each live and test. 1 Web Server running RHEL and tomcat 5.5.2 we also use 7 SSL certs, on for each institution which has the live name in it, so test will still be secure you just have to answer a prompt when visited or install the cert. It has been set up as the Tomcat standalone, the only way our software vendor will support it. And have set up each servlet as it's own service in the server.xml. Is this how you guys would have done it. This is the only way we could apply different certs to the different servlets. This is probably everywhere on the net but, Is there a way to bounce these services independently from the tomcat app itself? Also is it possible to script the deployment and reload proccess? I can't seem to figure that out.
