Hi List! I have two Tomcat installs. One is on Windows, and hosts our build system for our web service software. The other is on Linux, and is where the build system deploys to. I want to run unit tests on the Windows host that hit on the freshly deployed code on the Linux host.
So far, so good but there is a snag: the web service uses JNI. So, whenever a new context is deployed, I have to restart the Tomcat container to avoid classloader problems -- it tries to load the JNI wrapper class twice, which causes it to just stop working. Unfortunatly, the JNI is non-negotiable so I can't just remove it (which is what I'd prefer to do anyway). About the only way I can see out of this is with a SUID or suexec CGI script run under Apache HTTPD on the Linux host to allow the Windows host to remotely tear down and bring up Tomcat. The system is behind firewalls and only used for development, so the security problems aren't too much of an issue... Actually, I just thought of a better way: use the Ant SSH task on the Windows system with a passwordless certificate to allow logins to the Linux host and arbitrary command line commands. That's neater than CGI, at least. Can anyone suggest any better methods I have overlooked? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
