I have a wrapper startup script that changes the value of CATALINA_BASE
before it calls the startup.sh script. Just have the right directories and
files created in your CATALINA_BASE directory before you call startup.sh.
There are a couple of problems with this that I've found. You have a lot of
java processes running and if one of them is going haywire, you don't have a
way of knowing which server instance is bad since they all show up as java
in the ps -ef output. I'm trying to solve this by having a java_server1,
java_server2 etc. binaries, but am having some difficulties with that.
If you're using Linux, try putting "--cols=300" in your ps command...then you can grep on server.xml or a directory name:
ps -ef --cols=300 | grep java |grep some-string-here-that-means-something- to-you
Also, I've found that if you start more than just a couple of instances
simultaneously, they all fail. I have about 10 servers that get started in a
boot script that don't start correctly if you try and start all of them at
the same time (at least very quickly one after the other). I have to put a
sleep between each startup call to get them to start correctly.
I wrote a wrapper-wrapper that does this. It just loops through a list, and for each one, makes the appropriate calls with a sleep 5 in between. Works perfect for 22 Tomcat instances.
