Hi Charlene,
are you doing this setup for test/development purposes or for actual
production usage?
We generally advise against deploying multiple DSpaces in the same Tomcat
because:
- If you need to update or restart one of your DSpaces, you will often need
to restart your entire tomcat. In this setup, it would mean that an update
to one DSpace will also bring down & restart the other DSpace as well.
- When you experience performance issues, it becomes much harder to debug &
find the culprit when running 2 dspaces in the same tomcat.
This could also be the reason why documentation on this kind of setup is
scarce.
As an alternative, you could run 2 tomcats and deploy them on different
ports.
best regards,
Bram
