RE: Tomcat and file replication (synchronization)

You can use a JBoss / Tomcat bundle and strip all of the JBoss services
except tomcat and the class loaders.  You can then use the unified class
loaders in JBoss to handle what you speak of.  We can also help you with
this, as the lead developer of Tomcat works for JBoss Group.  We also have
written clustering capabilities for Tomcat in JBoss.

Subject: Tomcat and file replication (synchronization)


Hi all,

We're currently working with Apache 1.3.26 and Tomcat 3.2.3.  We're getting
to the point where we may need to have separate Tomcat instances running on
different machines (for redundancy and load reasons).  My concern here is
file synchronization between the two Tomcat installations, since out users
have the capability of uploading configuration files (and other files as
well) which our programs use.  Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be
done?  Is there a standard way of synchronizing files between web server
installations?

Thanks for any advice or information.
