Dual-Independent Tomcat servers, on Single Win32 host sharing IIS server.

[dOE <do...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Can anyone guide me in the right direction with my issue.

Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, tomcat-connector 1.2.8, and Tomcat 5.0.16.

I have been tasked to do the following.
To get two separate Tomcat server instances running on the same host
independent of each other and working off of the same IIS server
(compliments of the Tomcat-Connector, and ISAPI-Filter).

Getting the two servers up and running together is the easy part, and has
already been achieved.
They both have unique ports, and IP addresses from each other.. MY issue is
the isapi filter.

The "workers.properties.minimal" uses 8009 for "ajp13",  and 'localhost'
worker.list=ajp13w
worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13
worker.ajp13w.host=localhost
worker.ajp13w.port=8009

There has to be some information out there that will guide you to create a
custom "workers.properties.minimal" file. One of my two Tomcat servers has
port 8009 assigned, and the other is using port 8109.  I am assuming that I
was correct on thinking this port needed to be unique from the other Tomcat
server on the host?

I tried to do the following, and it did not work.

worker.list=ajp13w
worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13
worker.ajp13w.host=192.168.0.1
worker.ajp13w.port=8009

worker.list=ajp13w2
worker.ajp13w2.type=ajp13
worker.ajp13w2.host=192.168.0.2
worker.ajp13w2.port=8109

..and then in my "uriworker.properties" file

/servlets-examples/*=ajp13w
/jsp-examples/*=ajp13w2

I thought this would work, but clearly I am looking at this from the wrong
angle.

Can someone please guide me to where I can get the information to either
re-write custom "workers.properties.minimal" and "uriworker.properties"
files.. or what is it that I am doing wrong here.

-thx

The interface for this host has multiple IP's bound to it.  The IP's I
posted in this thread are the addresses to the sites in IIS.  Doesn't the
worker have to pointed to the site (via IP) its intended for?

The ports (server.xml) for both Tomcat instances are unique 8009 and 8109.

Not true.

The most obvious case is a machine with multiple NICs.

You can also assign multiple IP addresses to the same physical interface.
You don't see it often but you would use it, for example, during failover
with some clustering technologies so a live node will receive the traffic
from a dead node.

The systems are both on localhost... you said same machine... it can only 
have one IP
Thats ok as long as you rightly said... the "ports" are different...

If you using the machine in an org with no DNS... then the name of the 
machine will also work

worker.ajp13w.host=MyMachineName

But assigning actual IP's can be tricky especially if you have a DHCP server 
running... something that assigned IP's to machines... most MS systems do..

I think thats it... with a little play

There's surely a lot to improve in the docs, mainly the HowTo pages, but 
the Reference guide is fairly complete. Page

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html

says: "Some directives are allowed multiple times. This will be 
explicitely noted in the tables below.". And that's actually true ;)

Rainer

Yes, but since what version ?
(just kidding)

Thanks, that's good to know, and I don't believe I've seen that in the 
docs anywhere.

So then, and apart from upgrading the connector, the next step would 
really be to replace the host IPs above by 127.0.0.1 (assuming all this 
is on the same host for now, but I think the OP said that before).

I can not upgrade to 1.2.26, this is for an application and its "certified'
for 1.2.8...so I am forced to work with this older version.

[Rainer Jung <ra...@kippdata.de>]

First before trying to find the right configuration, upgrade! Version 
1.2.8 is soooo old and whatever hints you get on how to use the 
redirector, you'd always need to find out, which of those are true for 
1.2.8. We are at 1.2.26, just use that version.

No, all properties which take multiple values can be split into multiple 
lines. This often makes writing a modular config file more easy. We join 
those lines during reading them.
