Mike, Take a look at the following URL http://mikal.org/interests/java/tomcat/archive/view?mesg=15194 Here you will find a patch by Michael Kuz. I am currently using this patch on Solaris 2.8/apache 1.3.19/tomcat 3.2.2.
The only problem that I have encountered, is that I have to restart every apache just to take one machine out of service. To combat this annoyance I crafted a simple menu shell script that uses ssh/sudo to restart all the machines for me. -James Meyer Senior Unix Admin Experian AIS -----Original Message----- From: Mike Comb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 2:56 PM To: Tomcat Users List Cc: James Chuang Subject: Re: Get tomcat to top accepting sessions? Not quite what I am going for. I have 6 instances of tomcat running accross two machines. What I want to be able to do is take a couple of those instances down for servicing. The way that I did that with my previous app server (ATG Dynamo) is tell the desired instances to stop accepting new sessions, wait half an hour for current users to go away, and then take down just those two instances. Meanwhile the other four instances continue to serve the site. This allowed me to easily do site updates, app server updates, etc without having to take down the site or wait for off-peek times. So, any suggestions? -Mike --On Monday, November 12, 2001 12:31 PM -0800 James Chuang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike: > > Seems like you can just have your servlet redirect requests that requires > starting of a new session.
