Pacemaker and Tomcat (High Availability)

I am currently confused between several examples of tomcat resources I have seen with pacemaker, the documentation for the tomcat resource, and what I am seeing personally on RHEL 6 for Pacemaker.

Basic setup is as follows:
2 nodes, all firewall ports opened properly. Tomcat resource with a VIP, both of which always run on the same node.

I can get everything working with 1 tomcat resource as long as I use a statusurl. But if I don't use that parameter, the startup fails. The problem I have with this is that the documentation shows it to be optional (http://www.linux-ha.org/doc/man-pages/re-ra-tomcat.html) , and all of the examples I see online ( this for example http://muru-techsolution.blogspot.com/2015/04/apache-tomcat-cluster-with-pacemaker-on.html ) shows the service being created with no statusurl at all.

This causes additional problems, because I have additional tomcat services which use containers that do not have a web front end. Thus, they don't have a status URL.

Again, If I use the statusurl, then I have no issues getting everything to work. Is it just mis-labeled in the documentation?

Also, if I use multiple tomcat resources, do I need to use the tomcat_name parameter?

Thanks!
