AW: [Linux-HA] Tomcat times out

[Ehlers, Kolja]

Thanks Peter, I will definitely take a good look at those scipts.

The problem that this ocf tomcat script im using does not realize that
tomcat is running is probably this line in the monitor function:

monitor_tomcat()
{
---->	if ! pgrep -f "java -Dname=$TOMCAT_NAME" > /dev/null; then
		return $OCF_NOT_RUNNING
	fi
	isrunning_tomcat
	if [ $? != $OCF_SUCCESS ]; then
		return $OCF_NOT_RUNNING
	fi
}

Actually the TOMCAT_NAME is optional and by default tomcat. I am not sure if
my Tomcat sets a Dname at all. I will have to look into it after the
weekend.

Thanks again Peter for your help

Hello Kolja,

We had plenty of "fun" getting Tomcat to do things in a sane way as a
non-privileged user and fail over reliably with heartbeat.

Here's a very basic over view of what we've done and copies of the
scripts in case they are of any use to you.


Following the Apache Tomcat instructions we compiled the jsvc daemon and
put the jsvcd wrapper together with permissions allowing external
modification without touching the actual resource script (this is not a
requirement but it works so it's in the attachment jsvcd)

The HB resource script is also included (Tomcat). It'll need modifying
for directory and if you're not using Debian then an alternative to
start-stop-daemon *may* be required.

caveats,

Tomcat needs to be able to write to it's logs so make sure that if you
fire it off by hand then the log permissions may change on you. If this
happens re-chown or heartbeat will fail.

A sensible monitor section is absent from this script revision. It's
relatively trivial to add :-D

Enjoy

Pete
