Tomcat installation/deployment question
Hi, We are intending to deploy our application on individual laptops (to be used by field personnel who does not have internet connectivity to connect to our central server). The idea is that a trimmed down version of our core application will be deployed on individual laptops running tomcat against a light weight Sybase database. I wanted to see if you had any suggestions about - 1. How best to deploy the initial version (5.5) of Tomcat on individual machines - We understand our options are Microsoft SMS, Java Web Start application, shell script or Ant script to install Tomcat on these laptop boxes. We are leaning towards Microsoft SMS since (a) It can easily mass deploy the app to hundreds of machine (b) It is currently used in our organization to deploy some asp application. If you believe there are downsides to this approach or other approaches are better please let me know 2. How best to deploy the upgraded version (6.x or higher) - We potentially could use the same approach as the first one, but wanted to see if the opinion differs. 3. And finally the rollout of initial app and upgraded app version. Again probably use the same approach as before but wanted to throw this out there in case there are better ideas. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Sushil

Well we are not intending to use laptops to server multiple user. The idea is that the user who is logged in on the laptop would just work locally, when disconnected from network, and then we would synch up the database running on laptop with the central database. -Original Message- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 1:31 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat installation/deployment question possibly better off with a server offering as specified in documentation http://people.apache.org/~mturk/docs/article/ftwai.html For non server products like Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP the number of concurrent connections is limited to 10.

Hello Sushil, IMHO: ANT 1.7 has much improved deployment features in the area of remote distributed deployments. Sureka, Sushil wrote ..

Re: Tomcat installation/deployment question
you can install a server product (2003) on a laptop which has the requisite
chip characteristics/sufficient ram (4gb)/sufficient diskspace(.25 tera) and
sufficient clockspeed (in other words server hardware characteristics) to
support that server
Databases:
You can configure your connection-string to point to the remote DB server
and remote DBname which has a DBlistener installed e.g.
private static Driver c_Driver = null;
private static final String c_sDefaultDriverName =
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,
private static final String c_sDefaultDBURL =
jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:Port:DBName,
try {
c_Driver = (Driver)Class.forName(
c_sDriverName ).newInstance();
}
catch ( ClassNotFoundException cex )
{
}
//set your properties here and then connect with the provided URL
connection-string
c_Driver.connect( c_sDBURL, props );

RE: Tomcat installation/deployment question
Martin, thanks for the advise. We are already decided to move forward
with the decision to deploy on individual laptops. So yes we will have
sufficient hardware on laptop.
The question, what is the best way to put the tomcat installation and
upgrades, application installation and upgrades on the server. In other
words, question is not if, but how
