Bug Description
Binary package hint: tomcat5.5
This is an enhancement. I have written some scripts that change the standard debian/Ubuntu tomcat packages to allow multiple tomcat instances on a single system. They provide the following features:
- Setup system to allow multiple instances
- Provide scripts to creating and removing instances including init.d scripts and configuration
I've posted these on my blog and a lot of folks have been using them. I think it would be great if we could roll these back into the standard distribution. I couldn't figure out who was the upstream-debian maintainer, so I figured I would submit an issue here and we could pull them in as we go.
I'll attach my files to the issue so you can start looking them over. They will need some work, but for the most part they are fully functional.
The new Tomcat 6 packages in intrepid support private instances in addition to the system instance through the tomcat6-user package. See http:// ubuntuserver. wordpress. com/2008/ 09/01/tomcat- 6-lands- in-intrepid
Not sure we'll try to do the same for tomcat5.5.
