Hello everyone,
I've just started a new job where I've been asked to be the tech
lead on a project. The software originated from an external company who
designed it to run on 3 instances of tomcat. There is an instance for the
main applications for our customers, an instance for the admin section and
another for secure transactions. All running on the same PC. These instances
also communicate between each other in order to pass information from one to
the other via RMI.
I've never worked on a mulit instance installation before and no-one here
knows why it was done this way (it's not documented). Can you guys give me
any thoughts on why a multi-instance might be setup like this ? What are the
advantages over a single tomcat instance, etc ?
Essentially I'm trying to understand whether this was a good solution for
our use. Understanding the sorts of reasons for doing it will help me to
work out any possible future changes.
Ciao
Derek.
