I'm trying to get a better understanding of the CATALINA_BASE variable. Here is my dilemma (with ASCII art):
I have a load balanced Tomcat (v4.0.6) configuration on Win2k using mod_jk + Apache 2. It's all working in a production environment.
However, on occassion, about once a month, I have to update a JSP page (don't ask). I have to do this twice...once for each Tomcat instance's webapp. It dawned on me the other day when R'ingTFM that CATALINA_BASE may have been designed for exactly this reason. But the configuration text is confusing.
So, do I elect one instance as the master, the other slave? Using CATALINA_BASE set to the master's otherwise CATALINA_HOME?
The directory hierarchy then might look something like:
/---+
|
+tomcatMaster/
| |
| +webapps/
| |
| +myWebApp/
|
+tomcatSlave/
|
+webapps/
|
+...otherwise.empty...## somewhere in Windoze or Linux # setenv CATALINA_BASE /tomcatMaster ##
Is this the correct understanding and use? Thank you.
