I looked through the documentation and searched the user list and web for the answer to this. I found a lot of postings that talked about using NFS sharing to share the actual Tomcat software directories, but none that dealt with trying to share an expanded web application between two instances of Tomcat Actually one Tomcat instance is on a separate machine - using NFS to mount the directory.
Background: This is a legacy application (somewhat of a content management system) that places user-uploaded files in the web application directory. The application is not deployed as a WAR file, just the JSP's and classes directories are updates as needed. No change to change the app in the short-term. We are trying to move some batch processing to a separate instance of Tomcat and want both Tomcat's looking at the same webapps directory so the second Tomcat instance can mostly read, but possibly update some of the content files. Progress: Well so far it seems to work in preliminary testing. Is there anything or any reason to shy away from this solution? Both Tomcat's will have separate work directories. The JSP's will run on the first Tomcat instance, the batch processing on the second. Thanks in advance for any ideas, thoughts, etc. - Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-two-Tomcat%27s-safely-share-the-same-webapps-directory--tp18823860p18823860.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
