I'm not intimately familiar with the internals of Tomcat 4
and its batch files, but I suspect there are numerous pitfalls
to trying to have multiple instances of Tomcat 4 share
CATALINA_BASE subdirectories.  The documented form of running
multiple Tomcat 4 instances is supported because it is simplest
way for the multiple instances not to step on each other.
Documenting possible deviations from this isn't practical.  It
would be much harder to explain and it would be much easier for
users to encounter problems.  Thus, it isn't worth the
developer's time to pursue this as a feature beyond what has
already been done.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry,

Thanx for writing. 

I am just trying to understand from tomcat developers like you if there is anything in 
the way Tomcat4.0.3 works today that forbids such a configuration - why the official 
configurations supported mandates that every tomcat instance have its own base 
directory.

My configuration is simple - embedded tomcat supports stand alone or ajp13 connector 
mode with global defaults(like logger etc). All contexts are loaded with default 
properties using ((Deployer)host).install method. 

your help is much appreciated.

Thanx
Ganesh

What is officially supported is documented in section 4 of
the RUNNING.txt document:

<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/RUNNING.txt>
or
<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/RUNNING.txt>

If you want to deviate from this, I recommend you go ahead and
try it.  Then post if you run into problems for which you can't
find a workaround.  It is time consuming to predict what might
go wrong based on what you might or might not attempt to do in
your actual configuration.

Cheers,
Larry

the RUNNING.txt document:


or


If you want to deviate from this, I recommend you go ahead and
try it.  Then post if you run into problems for which you can't
find a workaround.  It is time consuming to predict what might
go wrong based on what you might or might not attempt to do in
your actual configuration.
