Hello I'm coming back to Tomcat after years using GlassFish. The little that I ever understood of Tomcat 3, 4 and 5 is now decidedly rusty so I've been reading Tomcat 7's RUNNING.txt with interest.
The section under the heading: Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances Looks interesting to me even though I have no desire to run multiple instances. Configuring CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE to be separate directories looks to me like such a winning idea that I'm left wondering, why the default TOMCAT installation puts all that stuff in one directory ? I have not looked to see if Tomcat 8 separates them. I welcome your thoughts.
