John,
Thanks for the comments. However...I highly invite
the changing of my work. This is a community project and I really can use
the help. The more people who find issues, then this is good. It
means people are playing around with this. I want that people show
some interest in this component. So thanks for taking the time to comment
on it.
Your ideas are great. Update the Wiki!!!! I
emplore you to rush in!
Thanks,
Jeff

Subject: Re: More Tomcat Updates
A couple of comments on the Tomcat wiki to get your opinion, rather than me rushing in and changing your great work...
* It might be safer (for newbies) to have the example not specify configids as arguments when geronimo is started. The reason being they may have deployed other configurations when previously running Geronimo, before they get around to setting up Tomcat. The current example also does not start org/apache/geronimo/RuntimeDeployer, which may cause some problems. I have seen a few newbies caught out by this in the past.
Instead of:
java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib/endorsed -jar bin/server.jar org/apache/geronimo/Tomcat
have:
java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib/endorsed -jar bin/server.jar
Start another shell and start the Tomcat configuration using the command:
java -jar bin/deployer.jar --user system --password manager start org/apache/geronimo/Tomcat
* Instead of saying "NOTE: CATALINA_HOME environment variable is required to run Tomcat. It's set to var/catalina/ via the GBean attribute catalinaHome in j2ee-server-tomcat-plan.xml" would the following be clearer?:
NOTE: The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not used by Tomcat when running inside Geronimo. The Catalina home directory is set to var/catalina/ via the GBean attribute catalinaHome in j2ee-server-tomcat-plan.xml"
* Could you explain how a module builder is selected when a web-app is deployed. E.G. what happens if I have both a geronimo-jetty.xml and a geronimo-tomcat.xml file in the WEB-INF directory and both Jetty and Geronimo are configured.
* It might be worth showing the steps on how to disable Jetty and only have Tomcat. I would imagine the majority of users would want to use one or the other, but not both.
Regards,
John

Ok...disregard the point on showing me the links to Tomcat and
deprecated min/maxProcessor. The Tomcat SSL doc appears to be old...the
server.xml file that is included in the Tomcat 5.5.9 source contains the
thread versions. I have made the and will commit the file shortly.
Thanks again for pointing this out.
Jeff
