Re: Running lots of virtual hosts on tomcat
Hello, that not really correct - see the german centaurus-platform http:/centaurus.sf.net/. We have build a little tool hostcreator do to create host at runtime. You can build a new host with a template at runtime. Wait a week than we release the 1.0beta6 with a integrated management application. Currently we build the Centaurus-Platform with Tomcat 5.0.27 with some small modifcations. One bad point: We have wrote the complete documentation at german language. :-) Sorry Removing is a really problem. The internal JMX Api support a remove Host at memory but the config still exists at server.xml. After restart your server the host is also restarted. We hack the server.xml with a little some XSLT things, but we don't delete directories or files. I hope we can discuss and implement a better way for tomcat 5.5. :-) regards Peter Remy Maucherat schrieb: On Wed, 19 Jan 2005 15:37:30 +0100, Robbert-Jan Roos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Our web department is thinking about moving from coldfusion to tomcat.

Re: Running lots of virtual hosts on tomcat
RJ, I think with a filter we can do our own version of mod_vhost. But for reloading the classes/jsps it needs two instances of Tomcat (maybe on the same machine) with a loadbalancer to update one without interrupting the user. Or is the compiler build into Tomcat 5.5 fast enough (and without memory leaks enough) to run it on a production machine. Ronald.

There are a few ways you could handle it.

Running lots of virtual hosts on tomcat
Hi, Our web department is thinking about moving from coldfusion to tomcat. Currently we have about 400 websites using apache's mod_vhost module. This works great. The only thing one needs to do is create a new directory www.bla.nl and the website is up and running. How would one do this in tomcat? I figured putting all the domainnames in server.xml is not an option since it would require restarting tomcat all the time. Using one Engine with a Context for each website seems more usable. Does anybody here have this kind of setup? Any pitfalls we might run into? Suggestions?
