Can you run a specific tomcat Web Application under another user?
- by Boaz
Hi,
We're developing a web-app running under tomcat which relies on Java User preferences to store all kind of settings. That works great, but we've run into problem where we needed to set up another staging web-app which allows you to test settings before settings them live.
The core of the problem lies in the fact that Java User preferences are the same for all web-app due to the fact that all of them run under the tomcat user (configurable). For legacy reasons I can not at the moment change my preferences structure, so I'm hoping for a solution on the the tomcat configuration side.
Is it possible to designate a different user credentials for a specific web-app in tomcat?
Thanks,
Boaz
