I am wondering what is the best setup config for Tomcat on a production server that houses multiple instances of the same application?
Currently out setup uses Apache HTTPD, JK, and Tomcat.
Apache handles the multiple sub-domain names and points them to the different contexts of tomcat ports 8009,8010,etc. Each instance of the application is pointing to the same copy of tomcat. When we setup a new context we have to update server.xml and have everything ready to go then in the evening we have to drop the service and start it up for it to deploy and when we drop the tomcat service all instance are down. Is there a way to set this up to create these on the fly as needed... or deploy a war to a specific instance and not affect others at the same time.
For instance do you isntall multiple Tomcat servers one for each application instance?
Any tips or tricks to Tomcat Server Management would be helpful.
