Has anyone installed Tomcat 4 standalone with SSL? After trying to get Tomcat 3.2.1 to successfully work standalone with SSL I decided to take a look at Tomcat 4.0m5. From what I have been able to glean from the documentation I have been able to find, it appears that TC4 may be able to offer us what we are looking for, and a little easier than TC3.2.1. Unfortunately I am not conversant with Tomcat or Java, so I am not sure about the correct format of the server.xml file, or how to set-up multiple servers while minimizing disk space. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it. What we want to do: 1) Run Tomcat standalone with SSL (no Apache, no IIS, no Netscape, just Tomcat) 2) On multiple domains/IP addresses on the same server 3) With minimal "cross-talk" (i.e. restarting www.a.com will not affect www.b.com) 4) With minimal disk space usage (while still keeping with the edict of #3) Has anyone done anything like this? If so, would you be willing to share your secrets? If anyone has some information on a good way to set-up something like this, please let me know as I am not sure which files/directories must be kept for each instance we need to run, and which files/directories can be shared (aside from a form of server.xml for each instance). I have been thinking that setting up a tree like this: /usr/local/tomcat -- containing all files/directories that can be shared /usr/local/tomcat-servers -- containing files/directories that must be unique for each instance /usr/local/tomcat-servers/00skeleton -- template directory from which to work when creating new instances /usr/local/tomcat-servers/00skeleton/conf -- conf files, easily modified where necessary This way I could copy the contents of /usr/local/tomcat-servers/00skeleton to a new directory, adjust a few variables, and fire it up.
