The HOW-TO is correct...though it's not clear exactly why. Typically, each Tomcat instance has one Connector configured, and there is typically one worker configured to connect to it.
For example, in a load-balancing scenario, Tomcat-A has a Connector on port 8009, as does Tomcat-B. There would be two workers, however: worker.tomcat-a.host=tomcat-a.domain.com worker.tomcat-b.host=tomcat-b.domain.com So yes, I guess you could say one Tomcat = one worker, as there really isn't any point in doing this: worker.tomcat-a.host=tomcat-a.domain.com worker.tomcat-b.host=tomcat-a.domain.com HTH John > -----Original Message----- > From: Lee Grey [mailto:leegrey@;mindspring.com] > Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 2:01 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Apache 2, Tomcat 4, Lee 0 > > > The distinction of host versus virtualhost in > workers.properties is critical > and was never clear to me.
