A key problem to using a single Tomcat instance with multiple web applications is that a problem with Tomcat or a problem with one single web app effects all the others. In a shared server environment (application service provider, for example) you would be better off having multiple instances of Tomcat so that you can manage each instance separately without effecting the others.
