remote logging
Hello, I just got around to using logging. Although *really* simple to use, it would be even better with remote logging. I did some searching in the archives and on the net, without finding much. Before writing my own servlet that dumps the logs/stderr.log as a response, I thought I would ask if anybody has seen something better. I want to page through the log file in a web browser, preferably html-formatted. Jonas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
manager/reload = restart?
Hello, While developing a Struts application I have to restart it frequently. Using the Tomcat 4.1 manager makes this quicker. What is not clear to me after reading through the documentation is the difference between stop/start and reload. The latter does not reload my struts-config.xml, while the former combination does. According to tomcat-docs/manager-howto.html reload is used to Signal an existing application to shut itself down and reload. This can be useful when [...] you've made other changes (such as to conf/web.xml) that are not automatically recognized by Tomcat. According to http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg73895.html reload will be faster(one command vs two), but start/stop will allow web.xml to be read again. What is the difference between reload and stop/start? Jonas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: manager/reload = restart?
Thank's for the reply. For the particular case of a Struts app, most of the time you're just changing struts-config.xml, not web.xml, so reload is usually the quickest way to update your app to test the things you just added or changed. That was my problem, reload doesn't reload struts-config.xml. For some reason my app is not updated on reload when struts-config.xml is changed, whereas stop/start works.

RE: manager/reload = restart?
You might want to try this with the released version of Tomcat (4.1.12) also, instead of an intermediate build like 4.1.10. I reinstalled with 4.1.16. Same thing. The Tomcat logs for reload and stop/start are below. It's not a serious problem, with two browser windows restarting takes a couple of more steps. But it is a bit strange.

Virtual host application directories in Tomcat 3.2 and 4.0
Although I haven't tried it, in Tomcat 4.0 each Host directive can specify an application base directory (webapps/) for the host. The appBase attribute specifies for each host where applications will be deployed. Can the same thing be done in 3.2, if virtual hosts are specified with the Host directive? The only way I have found for specifying the directory, is by using the home attribute to the ContextManager directive. This can't be the right approach, as each host is specified within the ContextManager directive. Does anybody have any suggestions? Jonas
RE: Virtual host application directories in Tomcat 3.2 and 4.0
I want to have a webapps/ directory for each virtual host. A home directory such as this allows the user to add subdirectories without explicitly adding the contexts to server.xml. Using a Context element as you suggested will only give me one application. I suppose I could specify each application as a Context element, but the ease of use and flexibility of the webapps/ directory is then lost.

Hazarding a guess, I would expect if you used a relative path it would be 'relative' to the docBase in the ContextManager element.

Virtual hosts and individual webapps directories
Is there any way to configure Tomcat to have multiple webapps directories, one for each user / virtual host? I want each user to have a webapps directory where explicit specification of the context path is not necessary. As it is, I have to enter a new Context path entry in the Host name for every context a user has. Jonas
