Re: multiuser tomcat environment
Is that alright to have say 60 Virtual Hosts on one tomcat server? Thanks.

Re: multiuser tomcat environment
Many thanks for your reply. Does your solution works with NIS? Also I have found on the server config site that : "The operating system username under which Catalina is executed MUST have read access to each user's web application directory, and all of its contents." In my case that probably means that I will have to run Catalina as root. Are there any known security problems with that? About implementing my own manager ,I am not realy a java programmer Does anybody knows about such a thing already done? Thanks.

I am unfamiliar with creating a new manager, but it seems that you should be able to write a servlet that can only be accessed by registered users. This servlet will send stop/start for a particular user's web app directory. It is possible to send messages to the manager via HTTP. Your servlet will need to authenticate as the manager, and then send the correct HTTP request. Perhaps someone else has a slicker solution.
