Bug 387726

Description Roland Hauser 2012-08-21 15:21:59 EDT

Currently, we use in our production system 4 Virgo Jetty server instances. To make deployment easier we use a shared folder which contains the pickup folder. All Virgo Servers point to the that pickup folder defined in "org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.properties":

########################
# Deployer Configuration
########################
# Note: use 0 to disable deployment timeouts
deployer.timeout=		300

# Lies in a shared folder which is accessed by all server machines
deployer.pickupDirectory=	../deployment/pickup

# Note: how many seconds to wait for a web application to register its ServletContext(s)
application.init.timeout=	30


Now, the drawback is that it is not possible to run another application just on one specified Virgo Server; all other servers will start that application too which is unappreciated. If we had the possibility to declare several pickup folders on each Virgo Server instance, we could run global applications, and, dedicated applications as well.

What's your opinion about that?

Regards,
Roland
