We adopt this strategy because we have multiple applications running in separate JVM/Tomcat instances, and it also really helps for development, too. The fact that upgrades are fairly painless hadn't really even occurred to me. Each separate Tomcat has its own conf/server.xml, though, so you'll still have to merge those together when you upgrade. It should be relatively easy to do, though. > If you're using log4j, it gets a little sticky because you have to > put some property files in the common/classes directory and put > log4j.jar in common/lib (at least in 5.5.27).

I think the same is true with shared JDBC libraries. I haven't bothered to check if the CATALINA_BASE/common/lib (and friends) are actually merged-together with the CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (and friends) because the JDBC library is the only case where we have to deal with this. If they /are/ automatically merged, then you can probably just make sure they stay with the individual /instance/ of Tomcat and not have to mess with the /shared/ one at all. > At any rate, I like this approach because you don't have to worry > about finding and disabling all sample installations, admin apps, > etc. +1 - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkqS0nsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCpHgCgpVFHyIjjEAJlkW6lXI2ndexL oagAn3fos7afr2Qirc5X8ak8sKa/aUbZ =AsEh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
