Hi List, My team is creating a new tomcat hosting environment in our organization. And we are looking for some suggestion & possible gotchas here. We plan to keep it as simple as possible & easy to maintain. At the same time it should be flexible as it will support multiple applications, multiple JVMs, each app very different from each other.
The web apps will be hosted for intranet only. The environment is on RHEL v5, Apache v2.2, Tomcat v6, Sun JDK 1.6 & 1.5. We are planning to host multiple instances of Tomcat JVMs, with one JVM per app. Each JVM with different CATALINA_BASE and different ports. E.g. CATALINA_BASE=/data/apps/server1 CATALINA_BASE=/data/apps/server2 CATALINA_BASE=/data/apps/server3 CATALINA_HOME=/data/installs/apache-tomcat-6.0.18 We are planning to use default appbase and use webapps as directory where users will put in their war files. The data source information should be in the war file itself. And most of the jar's, extra configuration should be built into the war file. The main criteria being that we would like to keep the installation as clean as possible. The production environment is going to have 4 app servers & 4 web servers. We do not plan to use clustering service, but will load balance it via Apache's mod_proxy & F5 Big IP loadbalancer Pls advise, how will you architect this. --DW --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
