Unclear on Host vs. Service concept 2004-01-23 - By Wendell Holmes
Back
I've read the docs but am unclear on what actually happens if I have muliple
Services defined vs. multiple ( virtual) hosts. I have some web apps that
are used by about 30 clients. Each client accesses a unique database. I
have been running these on JRun 4 for over a year, but would like to migrate
to Tomcat. Do I need to have a separate Service for each client or just a
virtual host for each one? In JRun, I create a JRun 'server' for each
client, drop in the web apps and configure the web.xml file. Each client
runs in it's own process ( Win2k server task mgr shows 30 jrun.exe's running
).
If I set up virtual hosts for each client, will I have enough integrity for
each client to insure that one crashing doesn't affect the others? Can
host1 and host2 both run distinct instances of mapServlet w/o mixups? Or do
I need to have separate Service/Connector/Host elements for each client?
Thanks for any help or pointers,
