Running two tomcat servers on same system?
Hi, I am wondering if it would be possible to have two tomcat servers running on the same system this is because some features of my software have to be on the internal network and there is a set directory that is accessible to the outside world. And my idea is to split the application in to two. This is so that the public stuff can run along side the private stuff and not interfere with each other. At present I have the IP address allowed to access the application unblocked from accessing the port of my internal network, which has to be changed every time the IP address changes of the one server allowed to access it. However I could open another set of ports run another tomcat server and host my private stuff there. Also is it possible to share shutdown ports of tomcat servers? Thanks in Advance Dean Chester
Re: Running two tomcat servers on same system?
What is usage like on the server running two application servers. Please bare in mind my admin/private application might get 10 users a month. While the public stuff we hope more frequent.

All you gave to do is to make sure that all the ports listed in your server.xml are unique. Also is it possible to share shutdown ports of tomcat servers? I am not sure. It's easy enough to give it a try. --johnt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Safe to move tomcat directory while tomcat running?
Hi, I have to move the tomcat directory with in my user and i ask is it safe if i do it while tomcat is running as i need to avoid downtime of my application. Thanks in Advance Dean
Re: Safe to move tomcat directory while tomcat running?
I would be doing it on red hat. Would it just be easier to email all the users and say its down for maintenance and then just move it?

Ok thanks what i meant is that the tomcat directory is in ~/tomcat6/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/ and i need to move it to my home directory ~/. Basically was it safe to do it while tomcat is still running.

Generally, no, you can't do that - if your not-quite-English question has been understood. It all depends on what you mean by move the tomcat directory with in my user.

Keep having to login with container based authentaction.
Hi, I've written my application using j_security_check yet i keep having to log in in the restricted area. Has anyone else experienced this? Because it works with a small amount of JSPs and then when i implement it all in to my application it doesn't work. Where am i most likely going wrong? Thanks in advance Dean

Ok ive discovered that they are not staying the same between clicks. I'm now
going to look at encoding urls now.

How do you mean encode your urls?
If you're being asked to log in every click, your session is probably
not being preserved. The session ID is set in a cookie or by encoding
the URL to include the session id:
/path/to/page.jsp;jsessionid=00AF00?query=paramgo=here
Most browsers have a variety of dev tools you can use to examine
cookies, or response headers (e.g. Set-Cookie) to see if the cookie is
being set properly.
If it's not, you'll need to encode the URL so that it contains the
session id. The servlet spec, (which of course you have read), has a
handy method on the HttpServletResponse object which can do this.
Encode each URL to ensure that the session id is preserved.
a href=%= response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath() +
'/path/to/page.jsp') % alt=a linkLinked text/a
p
If you have a common footer, included in your JSPs you can add the session
id to it, so you can see it on each page - it should not change between
clicks if you've encoded URls properly.
%= request.getSession().getId() %
Or if you're using JSP Expression Language
${pageContext.session.id}
p
P.S. There are tag libraries that exist to make this easier/less clumsy
looking.
I haven't set a time out in the web.xml file so its using the
default. The time between clicks is usually about 1-2 seconds. Here is
some
of my web.xml file:
security-constraint
