[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CACTUS-207?page=comments#action_63733 ] Gili commented on CACTUS-207: -----------------------------
I'm not familiar with what format documentation patches take. I would just add a new section to the aforementioned documentation, something like this: Multiple Instances of Tomcat on the Same Machine ------------------------------------------------ If you already have an instance of Tomcat running on your machine and you want to deploy your tests on a second instance please take note of the following issues: 1) Each instance of Tomcat must use different ports. Specifically, you must ensure that each instance uses a different <Server> port in its server.xml. Once this is done, be sure to configure Cactus to use your external server.xml instead of the built-in one (attribute "serverxml" if you are using the Ant task). 2) Ensure that your META-INF/context.xml does not contain a "docBase" or else Tomcat will fail to deploy your application. That's about it :) I'm sure it can be cleaned up a bit but it covers the gist of it. > Discuss deploying 2nd Tomcat instance in tutorial > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CACTUS-207 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CACTUS-207 > Project: Cactus > Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Versions: 1.7 > Reporter: Gili > > The tutorial URL is: > http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/howto_tomcat.html > The problem is that when one must deploy a 2nd instance of Tomcat on the same > computer (because one already exists) for Cactus, one must use a customize > server.xml instead of using the built-in one. First, the documentation should > discuss this (it isn't obvious). > Secondly, please warn the user that his META-INF/context.xml must not contain > a "docBase" attribute or he'll get deployment problems. All of this stuff > isn't obvious and there isn't much that can be found on Google to help > newbies out. We should really document all of this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
