I don't understand if all the developers is not having TC installed, how they will check the code is logically working before integrating with main code.
In my 6 years experience I haven't thought of the situation that more then one developer is depending on only one server. -Jignesh On Mon, 2004-08-09 at 04:30, Allistair Crossley wrote: > Hi All, > > I am currently trying to streamline our team's build process here using Tomcat as > our servlet container. > > For a while the way I had it setup was that we had 1 instance of TC running on a dev > server and 1 instance on production.
