Multiple Tomcat Instances with Linux

Jon Feauto

2004-06-18


Hello,

I'm certain I am behind the curve on this one, but
I've been looking around for several days now and
haven't found the answers I need.

I'm looking to setup multiple environments for Tomcat
4x on a single linux server. One for each developer
and several others for different versions of test.

From the mail list archives I've come to understand
that CATALINA_BASE can be used to configure multiple
instances. However, most examples I've seen use this
in coordination with multiple server.xml files.

I'm hoping there is a trick to this that I'm missing.
I don't mind the extra configuration as long as that
is the recommended approach.

For an installation supporting a linux service, does
the /etc/init.d/tomcat4 script need to be modified to
set the CATALINA_BASE for each instance started?

Do I need to use different port numbers to access
those instances?

Is the CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib actually "shared"
across instances or can it be unique to an instance
according to CATALINA_BASE?

Is virtual hosting required to support this type of
environment?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon
