Setting up Tomcat for productive use

Setting up Tomcat for productive use

Hey All,

not sure if there is another thread about this topic but i could not found any good answers.

Regarding several questions from customers or partners and also some internal projects i have a question regarding the setup of Tomcat for productive usage.

Running ThingWorx in an OOTB Tomcat installation is mostly good enough for a development environment but is there any guide or document that describe the optimal configuration covering security and performance settings for Tomcat that is running ThingWorx?

Many Thanks!

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

For the moment we do not have a complete guide for this specific action of running ThingWorx on top of Tomcat in production environments, however I’ve found some information on how to use Tomcat in production:

a. Stackoverflow thread which explains the basics on how to use Tomcat in production environments

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4182716/running-tomcat-in-production-environments

b. Complete presentation from Mark Thomas, Tomcat developer, entitled "Tomcat Tuning"

http://people.apache.org/~markt/presentations/2009-04-01-TomcatTuning.pdf

c. Apache Tomcat 8 Configuration Reference

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html

Hello,

That's true, please especially take into the consideration the Appendix A: Tomcat Java Option Settings.

I know this document, my hope was that there is a bit more informations and setting documented.

But Thank you
