[OT] Making jsvc multiple instances enabled
Hi!
I would like to discuss whether it makes sense to have the commons
daemon able to work with multiple tomcat instances out of the box. Since
I know of at least two jsvc commiters reading this list and I think this
is of interest for tomcat users, too, I start a discussion thread here.
The commons daemon ships a Tomcat5.sh script which starts Tomcat as an
operating system service on UNIX-like systems. The concept which I
propose is to enhance this script and add a wrapper script to the
distribution of the commons daemon. The wrapper script's task is to
enable customisation and to be placed in /etc/init.d (or wherever your
start scripts reside). It exports an individual instance name, the
CATALINA_BASE, additional CATALINA_OPTS and finally calls the Tomcat5.sh
script. Please see the end of this message for full examples of these
scripts.
There are some shortcomings in Tomcat5.sh in terms of multiple instances
that force you either to make an adapted copy of Tomcat5.sh for each
instance (which is impractical for maintenance) or to adapt this script
in a sophisticated way and apply your own concept to make Tomcat5.sh
reusable. Following are the issues that need to be addressed:
- Test whether CATALINA_BASE is set; otherwise (i.e. Tomcat5.sh is
called without wrapper script on a single instance setup) set it to
CATALINA_HOME
- TMP_DIR: change to $CATALINA_BASE/temp
- pid file: make it unique by adding the instance's name to the file name
- CLASSPATH: use commons-daemon.jar from the DAEMON_HOME instead of
CATALINA_HOME's
- improve parameters for the jsvc call:
-- specify the pidfile: -pidfile $PIDFILE \
-- specify the CATALINA_BASE: -Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE \
- in order to stop the right instance, reuse the pid file specified
previously
So the questions are: Does anyone agree with me and does it make sense
to file a patch or a feature request to the commons daemon team?
Kind regards
Wolfgang

This works great for me except for one thing; Sessions are not replicated when I restart tomcat. To stop Tomcat I'm using 'kill -9 `cat /var/run/jsvc.pid`'. When Tomcat is stopped this way the StandardManager does not serialize the sessions to SESSIONS.ser. Can I stop Tomcat in another way, to make it serialize the sessions? Hi Trond, by using signal 9 you give Tomcat no chance to perform any further action. Maybe you omit -9 from your kill command.

There were other threads on 9th and 13th December 2004 in this list discussing the same topic.

Re: Two Tomcat installations on one server in Windows 2K3
footh wrote: [running more than one Tomcat on a single machine] First off, I want to run Tomcat as a service and that seems to talk about running multiple instances with the startup script. It is likely that you want to use one version of Tomcat to run your web sites. So, I assume you have downloaded a distribution and put it somewhere on your server. This location is called CATALINA_HOME. For a single instance CATALINA_HOME = CATALINA_BASE, i.e. no need to care about. Second, item number 4 more or less says for multiple instances "you can use CATALINA_BASE" as an argument but doesn't really explain CATALINA_BASE. Is it the install directory of Tomcat? Or is it a directory where I have another set up "webapps" and context configuration files. I can't quite visualize what it means to use CATALINA_BASE and how to set up the directories. If you want to have more than one operating system service, you must copy certain parts (mostly configuration files) from your CATALINA_HOME directory to a new location. This new directory is called CATALINA_BASE. A CATALINA_BASE is a directory containing configuration files etc. that are individual to an OS service. The executable files do not need to be copied since they will be re-used. You need to call service.bat with appropriate parameters (CATALINA_BASE is the most important one) in order to install an OS service. The init-scripts (Unix) or registry settings (for Windows look around at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\SERVICES\Apache Tomcat) for the service always call the same tomcat executables. The service parameters determine wich config files to use. So for each Tomcat instance, you need to change the server.xml in the specific CATALINA_BASE to have your services listening to different IP addresses and/or TCP ports (same changes for shutdown port and AJP connectors necessary). I hope this helps. If it is not sufficient, I could provide you with a screenshot of my directory layout.

They call this setup "Multiple Tomcat 5 Instances". Is there something I'm missing, any suggestions? Thanks in advance. What you need to do is to create a new CATALINA_BASE (i.e.: copy the files and directories specified in the file RUNNING.txt and edit the individual server.xml to avoid TCP ports collisions). Then you need to pass the "-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE" argument to the startup command.

We want to ensure that they can run a Tomcat instance from their own filestore, but without the ports colliding. They may not all have root access on the box. Any thoughts as to whether MITI could help with this? Hi Peter! As a workaround you might add all developers to the same group or tune the chmod/chown/chgrp statements in the script. Please consider the TOMCAT_USER variable in the Tomcat5.sh script, too. Root access is not necessary as long as you can do without a start script and links in /etc/init.d. The start script gets generated to $CATALINA_BASE anyway and hopefully can be started with developers' privileges from there.

[ANN] Multiple Instances Tomcat Installer
Hi everybody! I created a shell script for helping with the installation of multiple Tomcat instances. You may want to use it if you need to accelerate the creation of a new service. The script is called MITI - Multiple Instances Tomcat Installer. MITI performs actions analogous to the "Advanced Configuration" section in http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/RUNNING.txt. In addtion to that, MITI keeps track of the services' Ports for HTTP, JK2 and Shutdown. MITI automates the adaption of each server.xml since it updates these ports in server.xml with sed according to a ports database (flat file). MITI can be downloaded at http://miti.sourceforge.net/. One reason for me launching this project was that I want my effort to be useful for the public. Another reason is that I haven't found installation scripts for the UNIX-like platforms. In opposition to that, there is an installation wizard for the Windows platform and I don't like *NIX/BSD to be discriminated ;-) To be serious, I am of the opinion that the Tomcat project can benefit from an application that helps Administrators with installation and management of multiple Tomcat instances (which is a superset of MITI's features). Once I even tried to write a Java GUI to manage server.xml properties but put that software aside for various reasons. Would you consider an app like this useful?
