Filip, Yeah, I just went back and re-read the Engine config documentation. It seems as though I misunderstood it when I read it last time.
"When using muliple Service elements in the same Server, each Engine MUST be assigned a unique name." I was thinking it was saying each Engine had to have a unique name in the service it was defined within...but each service can only have one so what would be the point of that statement. :) Thanks for the clarification. -steve --- On Sun, 8/2/09, Filip Hanik - Dev Lists <devli...@hanik.com> wrote: > From: Filip Hanik - Dev Lists <devli...@hanik.com> > Subject: Re: 5.5.28 issue when multiple services with engines named the same > To: "Tomcat Developers List" <dev@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: Sunday, August 2, 2009, 9:10 PM > Hi Steven, I think the engine name > unique per server has been there for > a very long time. for example the directory > conf/Catalina/localhost/ > is > conf/Engine name/Host name > and not Service name, so this would make the engine unique > > filip > > > On 08/02/2009 12:16 PM, Steven Mahurin wrote: > > I am using tomcat 5.5.27 to run a set of simple set of > applications.
