Windows service and multiple instances
Hi, I've read enough about having multiple tomcat instances. However when using windows, the installer won't create a second windows service for starting and stopping the second tomcat installation. Has anyone have a solution/suggestion for this? Regards, Wouter de Vaal - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Windows service and multiple instances
You need to install the second service manually. How you do this depends on which version of Tomcat you're running.

Hi, You can use the service.bat wrapper to install as many copies of the Tomcat windows service as you'd like.

RE: Windows service and multiple instances
that not entirely the case, as the service.bat examines CATALINA_HOME. if the env variable is set to 1 installation, teh 2nd service install will use that value also. modify service.bat in each installation. you could try remarking out this part rem if not %CATALINA_HOME% == goto gotHome which will force the wrapper to use the current directory, Allistair. -Original Message- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 December 2004 15:48 To: Tomcat Users List; Wouter De Vaal Subject: RE: Windows service and multiple instances Hi, You can use the service.bat wrapper to install as many copies of the Tomcat windows service as you'd like.

RE: Service and Multiple Instances
Hi,
QM's thoughts are valid and worth consideration. I'd add that IMHO this
approach is a waste of time. The best upgrade path for the long term is
to keep your webapp as one WAR file in one place, and have versioning on
that file in your source code control system. But that's just my two
cents.
Tomcat does support multiple Services in one server.xml: it's only
Server, the root element, that's one per, well, server ;)

None that I can think of. (Is that even permitted?)

Yes: separate CATALINA_HOME from CATALINA_BASE. You'll have a cleaner
upgrade and management path that way, not to mention your directory
structure as-is implies the webapps are bound to Tomcat (which isn't
necessarily true). There are other benefits, too.
I use something along these lines:
## Tomcat binaries
/opt/./tomcat-version
## latest Tomcat, symlink to tomcat-version;
## referenced by per-instance scripts as CATALINA_HOME
/opt/./tomcat
## per-app dir, aka CATALINA_BASE. Each of these gets its own
## server.xml, work dir, etc.
/somewhere/else/webapps/app1/
/somewhere/else/webapps/app1/bin ## management scripts
/somewhere/else/webapps/app1/webapps ## web apps
/somewhere/else/webapps/app1/ ## etc, etc, etc
This structure lets me migrate between several Tomcat versions without
touching the app itself, except perhaps the definition of CATALINA_HOME
in the start script.

Service and Multiple Instances
BACKGROUND:
We're investigating migration from WebLogic 7 to Tomcat 5. As of
WebLogic 7, BEA separates out configuration info, their equivalent of
webapps, and other data into a separate directory, much like setting
CATALINA_BASE to a different directory does for Tomcat. BEA did this to
isolate patches and upgrades to the application code (in one directory)
from the web apps running on the server (in the other directory).
The nice thing is that this approach fit right in with the directory
standards for our servers, which separates out the application (the
server), the data (the webapps in this case), and the logs into three
separate directories: */apps/*, */data/*, */logs/*.
THE SETUP:
I'd like to do the same thing with Tomcat using CATALINA_BASE, like
so:
CATALINA_HOME - */apps/tomcat
CATALINA_BASE - */data/tomcat/${service.name}
I'd use the Service name=* attribute to differentiate between
different Tomcat instances.
THE PROBLEM:
The only problem I can see with that approach is that it would limit me
to one Service per instance. Is that even problem? Would there be
times when you'd want more than one Service defined in a server.xml?
Any thoughts on this directory structure in general?
Thanks,
Kyle
