Multiple farms

Let’s suppose, you have more web-apps: ProjectB, ProjectC, ProjectD, ProjectE and you want to start your web-apps in distinct constellations:

ProjectB, ProjectC
ProjectB, ProjectC, ProjectD
ProjectC, ProjectD, ProjectE

For this you’ll need to configure multiple farms:

farms {
  farm {
    webapp ':ProjectB'
    webapp ':ProjectC'
  }
  farm 'XXX', {
    webapp ':ProjectB'
    webapp ':ProjectC'
    webapp ':ProjectD'
  }
  farm 'YYY', {
    webapp ':ProjectC'
    webapp ':ProjectD'
    webapp ':ProjectE'
  }
}

Now you get new sets of gradle tasks, each set specific for particular farm:

farmRun, farmRunDebug, … serve unnamed farm
farmRunXXX, farmRunDebugXXX, … serve farm with name "XXX"
farmRunYYY, farmRunDebugYYY, … serve farm with name "YYY"

Tip	You can even invoke tasks for different farms in parallel, provided that each farm gets distinct set of TCP-ports (see more information on farm TCP-ports here.
