Hi guys, Soon I'll have bandwidth to work on the Tomcat Grid. I think I can develop the proof of concept in short time so we can have a discussion on the features we could add later on. My idea is to divide this project in many small increments.
So far I reached the basic operations to start/stop Tomcat instances from a centralized location and to get the basic JVM stats (resource utilization) through JMX. I developed two interfaces: a command line interface, and a simple web interface. All is written in Java including the grid agents. So far I'm using fair minimal configuration files, but I have the design of the comprehensive configuration files. Well, I need to decide what would be the next steps, but before I do so, I would like to store the code in a repository. I hate to keep the code on my hard drive only. Can you provide me with a repo. I can easily do SVN or GIT.

It's about managing multiple Tomcat servers across multiple machines, from one (or more) centralized location, something like a "Grid Admin". Anyway, the thing is that when you have many Tomcat servers, it could be useful to perform basic operations from a web or command-line interface, so to start, stop, restart, and (sometimes) kill Tomcat servers. My work includes developing web applications and also managing production deployments for clusters of small clusters of 2 servers to clusters of 70 servers, and when you have that many, it's a pain in the neck to manage them one by one. I think I can write a basic proof of concept, but I would like to find out if it's worth it or not. Thank you, Vlad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
