Re: Tomcat Admin Tool - Point taken. :-P Re: jkMount - If I understand correctly jkMount involves pointing Apache Virtual Hosts at specific jk2 workers. The example from the jakarta site shows: # send all requests ending in .jsp to worker1 JkMount /*.jsp worker1
# send all requests jsp requests to files located in /otherworker will go worker2 JkMount /otherworker/*.jsp worker2 so given the example, I would have two workers defined in my worker2.properties file, and it would look something like: [channel.socket:localhost:8009] port=8009 host=127.0.0.1 # define the worker [worker1:localhost:8009] channel=channel.socket:localhost:8009 [channel.socket:localhost:8010] port=8010 host=127.0.0.1 # define the worker [worker2:localhost:8010] channel=channel.socket:localhost:8010 What i have now is two Apache Virtual Hosts, pointing to 2 different jk2 workers, who are in turn pointing to 2 different instances of Tomcat running on the same machine, but different ports. At first blush, this solves my problem. Although it's not what I original had in mind. Changes to the Tomcat server.xml of 1 virtual host will cause that instance of Tomcat to be restarted, and other virtual hosts running tomcat on my server are unaffected. but, a few questions remain: 1. is this "how it is done"? I understand that there is no single answer, but I would get some feeling of comfort knowing that this is how "most" people solve this problem. 2. what can i expect in terms of memory requirements? If I have 12 virtual hosts running 12 instances of Tomcat . . .? is this model scalable? at what point does it stop being scalable? (20 hosts? 50? 500?) 3. what's the catch? :-) there's always a catch! Thanks for your continued time and patience with this thread.

We'd like to hang our hopes on that :-) Patches and any other contributions are always welcome ;) I think you can point configure Apache/mod_jk to point at specific Tomcat contexts using the jkMount directive. There are examples at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/jk2/jk/aphowto.html#mod_ jk%20Directives.
