Thanks, john for clearing it up. Seems this time I asked the "correct" question, so I got your reply. it's the first time I got my posted question answered...

As far as "when do you need it" that's up to you, there is no hard and fast rule. We use multiple Tomcats because it allows us to segregate our clients' apps, and manage each Tomcat instance separately without interfering with the others.

I'd appreciate any response. Chasee --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
