Shutting down and restarting Tomcat

[Peter Lee]

I need to shutdown and then restart tomcat repeatedly for my
testing purposes. I am using a Windows batch file which will call
shutdown.bat and startup.bat. But each time Tomcat did not
restart. Is there any better way of doing this?

Thanks

[Turner, John]

You have to do it slowly...it is not instant. 3-10 seconds between calls to
either of the scripts should be sufficient.

Try putting a delay in, sometimes tomcat doesn't quickly
enough exit for you to immediately restart. At least
not on my box (which is linux). However if you're using
Tomcat4.x you can stop and restart webapps directly, so
you may not really need to restart all of tomcat...

Look at the Manager application in the Tomcat documentation. It will allow you
to deploy, redeploy, and restart a single application, rather than the entire
Tomcat instance. These operations take a matter of seconds.

your batch file must be like that
restart.bat
call %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\shutdown.bat
call %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat
if it doesn't work you may set a delay between the 2 commands?

What is the command for setting the delay in a Windows batch file?
I used "delay" but it didn't work.

Assuming this isn't a 'day late and a dollar short', you might want to take
a look at this web site. It has all sorts of tips for DOS batch files:
http://www.calweb.com/~webspace/batch/


Additionally, there are several ways to get a time delay from a batch file.
They are described here:
http://www.calweb.com/~webspace/batch/samples/sleep.txt

Some of the things described will only work if you have the original files
(junk?) from DOS. I personally keep some of that stuff around - if all else
fails, email me directly, and I'll send the utility you need as an
attachment.

Hi Peter,

@echo off
echo.
echo Calling startup
echo.
call startup.bat
echo.
echo Started
echo.
pause
echo.
echo Calling shutdown
echo.
call shutdown.bat
echo.
echo Shut down
echo.
pause
startAndStop.bat

The pause command is necessary, because it takes Tomcat a few
seconds to shut down. The next call will be done after you'll
have pressed any key.

This script is an endless loop because it calls itself in the
end. To end it press Ctrl-C or the X-Button in the upper right
corner.

As far as I know, there isn't one. You can only use PAUSE which waits for
user input before continuing. That won't help you, though, if you're
sitting at your keyboard tapping the spacebar or Enter key as soon as you
see the pause prompt.

You could try installing something like Cygwin and writing a shell
script...then you'd have access to the "sleep" command. Otherwise, you're
stuck with counting to yourself in-between batch file iterations.

Or if you have perl installed:

REM -- sleep for 2 seconds
perl -e 'sleep(2);'

Hi,

I downloaded something called UnxUtils.zip from the web (can't find where
from at the moment). Amongst other Unix goodies this includes sleep.exe.
It is a package of standalone binaries and you need install/use only
those you need, unlike Cygwin or Perl which are pretty massive.

With sleep.exe on your path you could then put a line like "sleep 2" in
your batchfile to wait 2 seconds before proceeding.

John.

If there isn't one you can simply write sleep.java and call using:
java sleep 2

Hi,

Would anybody get me a link to a tutorial showing how to make the IIS
execute JSPs and Servlets using tomcat 4.0.4

Note: I've chosen the "NT Service" option when I installed Tomcat in my
Windows XP, does it change anything? Because I've found something about the
integration of ISS using a jk_nt_service. Is it the same thing as the "NT
Service" install option?

Thanks,

Kiev

I am trying to create a custom jdbc realm. I create a class that extends org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm. When I start up my server, I get a class not found exception on my new realm class.

How am I supposed to set my paths to see the realm class I created? when I add the class to my classpath directly, then the server can't find org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.

Thanks,
Eric

Tomcat ignores the system classpath totally. You'll need to put your
custom Realm implementation in a directory where Catalina internals can
see it -- specifically, in $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes or in a JAR file
in $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib.

For more info, see the class loader docs:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html


If you're using 4.1, you'll also want to disable the MBean support because
it won't recognize your custom Realm class. You can do this by commenting
out the two <Listener> elements at the top of server.xml.

Thanks,
Eric
