[ Please cc me any replies as I'm not subscribed to the list ] Hi,
I've been asked to export the same webapp on the same server on two
different hosts (basically the client wants to access the same server
both from its intranet and externally, but do not have nor want to setup
a network zone with good internal and external network connectivity. So
he just wants to add a second NIC to the server and give it a fit of
schizophrenia).
The current setup is Apache - mod_jk - tomcat 3.3.1 - IBM SDK 1.3.0 -
RH 7.3.
What I did is write a second app-foo.xml with a different Host pointing
on the same webapp dir (on a test server). It � seems � to work. However
I'd be really grateful if people could enlighten me on the following
points :
* is it supposed to work (i.e. was this setup taken into account
when tomcat was written) ?
* do anyone runs a similar setup in prod ?
* will the memory usage be closer to one or two webapps (i.e. is
tomcat/the jvm/the system be smart enough to share resources
between the two hosts ) ?
* will the result of jsp compiles be shared between the two hosts
(it seems to be the case ) ?
* is there a risk of a component becoming confused ?
* what else should I look for ?
As you see I'm a bit nervous since the sane answer would be to put the
server in a correct networking zone, so I'm not sure this have been
tried before. Any answer (partial or full) will be appreciated.
Regards,
