AW: configuring tomcat for 100+ contexts
student in the servlet.xml. I would _like_ to be able to say for every directory that you find a WEB-INF, such as /var/www/htdocs/$course/$student/WEB-INF Would Context path= docBase=/var/www/htdocs/*/* appBase=/var/www/htdocs/ reloadable=true debug=0/ make any sense? I suggest a small perl script that produces the apps-X.xml files in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf . You could create/delete your students and courses and just run it to get the newest working config without touching server.xml. It can clone the webapps directory of each a.o.a.o.a.o :) Just the restarting would take a while :-)) M.Schwarz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I could care less about start up times (they're only users, after all ;) Oh yes, I'm also using mod_webapp, if that makes a difference. I was hoping for an eloquent solution that would recognize that all WEB-INF directories beneath htdocs are a tomcat context. danke, --- Boyd Duffee,Keele University Computer Science (01782) 583437 Computing Officer ...Microsoft follows standards.

I was hoping for an eloquent solution that would recognize that all WEB-INF directories beneath htdocs are a tomcat context. Another approach to consider for this kind of use is the User Home Directories capability (requires Tomcat 4). This makes a URL like http://www.myhost.com:8080/~craigmcc/; refer to the public_html subdirectory of my user home directory (just like the similar feature in Apache and other web servers). At startup time, all the users who have public_html directories accessible to the username Tomcat runs under will be automatically recognized. Documentation is on the Host page in the server configuration reference (http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/config/host.html). danke, Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
