I usually achieve this via seperate context - you can reastart each app seperatly. And (usually) the apps don't step on each other toes and a broken app doesn't kill the whole Tomcat. However. With multiple Tomcats I usually run multiple (virtual) servers. In my old company we used to have seperate tarball-installs running from /home/tomcat/<instancename>. Used to work fine as well - with a special initscript that could start/stop all instances, as well as a specific one. However, it was a update nightmare, as you can guess. Links would have done a fine job in that case - I guess. -of -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
