Hey David,
Just one clarification - I assume TC refers to Apache Tomcat, and not
"tcat" (mulesoft) or "tc server" (vmware).
Yes, that's correct. "TC" = "Apache Tomcat"
You could create a script that uses JMX to connect to each one of the
instances and polls for certain MBeans that have access to your runtime
data (your counters). You could even use JMX to modify this runtime data.
You can use JMX to stop the instances, but not start (because there is
nothing listening on that port anymore).
Is there a "restart" command available? Obviously I need to do some
more research now that you've gotten me started.
So, what you need to do is write an MBean that will get packaged together
with your application. When your application is deployed, MBean will
register automatically with the MBean server (for that Tomcat instance).
Then in your script you can connect to each one of the instances, search
for the MBean, and read(write) attributes or invoke operations(methods on
the MBean). I would probably use some multi-threaded executor (threadpool)
to call each individual instance.
Hope that helps.
It does; thanks.

My system has several instances of TC 7.0.22, running on windows server
2008 R2, and JRE 6.0.27. And yes, I know both TC and Java could use an

The TC instances are all running the same webapp, as a Windows service,
though not all have the exact same version of the webapp. Each is running
from its own catalina.base directory, but all have the same catalina.home.
Each instance is listening on a different TCP port, and everything is
working fine, handling several hundred requests per second.
What I'd like to do is develop an easier way of monitoring each instance
than what I have now. In particular, I'd like to get visibility to a
couple of the webapp's internal variables (they're counters), as well as
being able to stop and restart the instances if necessary. My current
method is that the app has a browser page that I can log into and see the
variables of interest, and I use tomcat7w to control the service instances.
Of course, that requires me to log into each one of them individually to
check on them. That requirement for separate logins is what I'd like to
eliminate if possible.
Is this even remotely doable from (ideally) another webapp running on the
same server, or maybe an external non-browser app? Or am I just dreaming?
Can JMX allow me to see internal application variables and control
services?
Thanks for any suggestions!
