Dear Tomcat Users
Forgive me for saying this (and unless I am still misinformed after
scouring the Internet for a solution), the Tomcat app server seems
wholly inadequate for the demands of modern multi-tenant SAAS
applications. Multi-tenant SAAS apps are supposed to be light weight and
have the ability to scale. Sure, you can implement multi-tenant features
inside the web app, but it makes sense that the functionality should be
provided as part of the app server. The current business of deploying
separate WARs is not practical/efficient for multi tenant use. We should
be able to simply flag a context as multi instance. The instances should
under the same classloader in a very light weight fashion.
Is there any chance the Tomcat dev team would look into adding this?
Your thoughts are appreciated

Greetings!
I would like some advice with regards to deploying a web app in a multi-tenant
scenario. A while back, we had a few cloud service providers ask us if they
could host our web app as a service. Under pressure to come with a quick
solution, we responded by implementing a manager like application (much like
the Tomcat manager app), that could deploy additional web apps by copying the
contents of our WAR file to a new directory under webapps . For instance:
webapps\customer1
webapps\customer2
etc.
