shared install under Linux
Hi,
Could anyone share some advice on how to install Tomcat on a Linux box
such that it can be shared by several users?
I would imagine that you install Tomcat to a system folder like /usr or
/opt and then users that want to use Tomcat will have configuration
files in their own home folders.
Any advice for a typical Linux install in general (folder layout),
sharing aside?
Thanks,
Marius

Sounds like you want to setup multiple TC instances. Try using
CATALINA_BASE. See this message for more info:

Thanks Mark. This is what I do know (more or less). I was wondering if
it is possible to install Tomcat to a common location and then run
separate instances (separate server.xml files) with totally separate web
apps.
You can always install the whole Tomcat in separate folders (for each
user) I guess.

Then in that case, I would make the context writable to all
developers, and also make the context reloadable. By making the
context reloadable, tomcat will reload any classes/jars that are
placed into/or updated in the context.
A couple tips would be:
1. If you are building classes into the context/WEB-INF directory, do
not perform a "clean" operation, as this could throw tomcat off.
2. I would recommend building jar files, and then place a copy of the
jar file into the context.

Is this for a development environment ?
