All,
So we have a single war file that we wish to be able to run for different
clients, each isolated from each other. I noticed that with the host-manager
app we should be able to setup a different host within the same tomcat
instance.
1) is this the best way to solve our aim? Would we be better off with
multiple tomcat instances - e.g. single catalina_home and multiple
catalina_base? I think these would be better insulated, but there would be
more admin overhead
If you have multiple <Host> within a single Tomcat instance, they can share the same IP
address and port, and differ only by their DNS hostname.
But if you bring down/up Tomcat, you bring down/up all Host at the same time.
If you run different Tomcat instances, each with one Host, you can bring down/up one
instance/Host independently of the others.
But each instance will need its own port, or IP address.
This may be a good reason to use a front-end httpd, to hide these different ports from the
users.
In both cases, you will need a distinct appBase for each Host, and will need to load your
war independently to each of them.
2) the app needs a database connection. How can we setup a jndi connection
for each host? Each client would want a jndi connection using a different db
account. What is the recommended way to do this when using the host-manager
Someone else would need to answer that.
