Yes, it is possible. See "Multiple Tomcat Instances" in file RUNNING.txt that comes with a Tomcat distributive. The next 6.0.x version will allow even more options to be configurable per-instance. > this is because some features of my software have to be on > the internal network and there is a set directory that is accessible to the > outside world. And my idea is to split the application in to two. That is your decision. I cannot comment much on this. One thing that you cannot achieve running a single Tomcat instance is to use different system users to run it. From the operating system point of view, there is a single user that runs a Java VM that executes Tomcat. If you need different OS users, you will need different instances of Tomcat. If you need to limit system access from inside a single Tomcat instance (e.g. which web applications have read/write access to which file paths), you can run with a SecurityManager and configure your policy according to your needs, see: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/security-manager-howto.html Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
