Hello,
I am a sysadmin in a University IT environment, charged with getting a
number of packages running by the imminent start of the academic year,
one of which is Tomcat.
I have a simple application installed and running on a standalone
version of Tomcat but I now need to get this configured for use in a
couple of courses by around one hundred students so they can install
their own applications.
I have tried both methods listed in the Host Container - User Web
Applications reference without success.
The first via the /etc/passwd route creates a directory as :-
$CATALINA_HOME/work/Standalone/localhost/~lname and a thread for every
entry in the password file but then crashes about 1000 entries into it.
We need something finer grained so I tried the specified base directory
method; this worked fine in the simple case but when I set up a few
users directories from our actual environment, a mixture of Solaris
and Linux boxes, home directories via NFS, symbolic links (the full
"Network is the Computer" deal) it's back to "nobody's home".
The reference indicates that Catalina can map a request URI in the same
way as many webservers; we accomplish this easily via the UserDir
directive in Apache, anyone know how to get there with Tomcat?
