RE: How do I specify a different workDir for each user accessing the same Tomcat 4.1.27 implementation
Howdy, If you want to use the same tomcat instance (bad idea IMHO), use a different CATALINA_HOME for each user with the same CATALINA_BASE. Take the rest of your configurations, especially the Loader, out of server.xml. A better alternative is to have a completely separate tomcat instance for each developer.

I do this by having a different server.xml file for each user and having the context docBase point to the build/webapps directory of each user, like shown below: Context path=/POS docBase=/u/biswasg/Proj/pos/bin/share/../../build/webapps debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false swallowOutput=true Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=logs/biswasg prefix=pos_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=false/ /Context Now I want to specify a different workDir for each user also. How do I do that? I tried adding the following Loader element inside the Context but it doesn't work: Context path=/POS docBase=/u/biswasg/Proj/pos/bin/share/../../build/webapps debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false swallowOutput=true Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=logs/biswasg prefix=pos_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=false/ Loader className=org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader delegate=false reloadable=false workDir=work/biswasg/ /Context I want to do this as all JSP pages are now being compiled into the same work directory for every user. So if two or more users are concurrently working on the same JSP page they sometimes end up with a feature that they never added! (and which someone else working on the same JSP page might have added). So they ask me the question Hey, I didn't add this... How did that thing get in there?. And that triggered me into thinking that if I can specify a different workDir for each user the problem will be solved... Is this really do-able ?

Shapira, If I'm not too demanding :-) can you please explain why it is a bad idea to use the same Tomcat instance for more than one user. Is it performance related or is it something else ?

Howdy, If I'm not too demanding :-) can you please explain why it is a bad idea to use the same Tomcat instance for more than one user. Is it performance related or is it something else ? Your users above are developers, not normal client users. It's legitimate for developers to experiment with the server configuration, properties, etc. Tomcat is free, you don't have to pay anything for extra installations. Forcing developers to share installations restricts their options during development (or at least slows down the process if they have to make sure their config change is OK with all other developers using the server). If one developer's mistake crashes the server, everyone suffers. If he has his own server, no one else is interrupted when it crashes. Finally, sharing the same tomcat instance doesn't gain you any significant advantage. Of course, there should be a shared/central integration testing server.
