Tomcat on multi-user box / mod_webapp vs mod_proxy

[Paul Warren <pd...@ex-parrot.com>]

Hi,

I am currently looking at ways to allow users of multi-user Linux server
to use servlets in a secure manner, by which I mean that the servlets
must be owned by and run under each user's own user id.

Is there a recommended way to achieve this?  The only solution I can
think of is to have each user run their own installation of Tomcat, and
for our Apache server to pass on requests to a different port for each
user.

This brings me on to my next question - connectors.  What are the pros
and cons of using mod_proxy over mod_webapp?  I suspect that
mod_webapp gives better performance, but are there other advantages?

cheers,

Paul

4.0.1 blowing up

[Steve Howie <sh...@uoguelph.ca>]

Hi,

We just installed 4.0.1 on a Sun running Solaris 7, we get the following
message when we start to run the server:

--------------------------------
<snip> -------------------------------------------
cruncher [27]% more catalina.out
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0.1
Bus Error
    si_signo [10]: Bus Error
    si_errno [0]: Error 0
    si_code [1]: BUS_ADRALN [addr: 0x29]

        stackpointer=FFBEBBE8

*** panic: JIT signal handler did not take the signal

Test for suspension on thread: 1 in process 24065 ...
---------------------------------
</snip> -----------------------------------------

JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME are defined properly.

Version 4.0 works fine and initializes ok. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Scotty
