Hi all, Summary: Using jsvc may result in multiple running instances of the Tomcat servlet engine on the same machine with the same pid file. Is this an intended behavior?
Background, Details: I intend to use Tomcat 5.5 in a commercial environment with multiple virtual hosts. It appears that when adding a virtual host, Tomcat needs to be re-started to recognize a new host entry in server.xml. Furthermore, something like jsvc (from the Apache Jakarta Commons Daemon project) must be used to call the servlet destroy() methods in order to have a controlled shutdown without losing data e.g. user sessions. Tomcat includes shell scripts that execute jsvc. I adapted such a script and added the parameter --pidfile as documented in http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/jsvc.html jsvc creates a pid file as expected, however it does not delete it when its process is killed. jsvc also creates multiple instances even if the pid file exists. Consequently, multiple instances of Tomcat may exist of which only one can be deleted via the pid file. I am trying to understand what I am missing here because I think that the described scenario is not acceptable in a professional environment. Or maybe further development is needed. Many thanks in advance for you comments.
