What is your goal, your expectation of Tomcat? What these n instances should do that 1 instance cannot? Is is possible to start several Tomcats with the same CATALINA_BASE in parallel, but you have to 1. Disable shutdown port (set port="-1" on <Server> element if I remember correctly) It means that these Tomcats have to shut themselves down eventually (like explicitly calling System.exit()), or you have to kill them by sending a signal (knowing pid of the process). 2. Remove connectors, or disable them (port="-1" if I remember correctly), or configure them to autoselect a random port number (port="0" if I remember correctly) A connector can be configured, reconfigured, started/stopped programmatically via JMX. 3. Do not perform any writing activity in CATALINA_BASE - Do not deploy war files (so that Tomcat does not need to unpack them) - Do not deploy any new applications while Tomcat is running. Turn off autoDeploy feature on Host. Do not use Tomcat Manager web application. - Do not compile JSP pages. Turn them into servlets by precompiling them with Jasper JspC. - Do not write serialized session data (configure <Manager> with pathname=""). - Turn off logging (or turn a deaf ear to it trying to concurrently write into the same log files).

Disable shutdown port (set port="-1" on <Server> element if I remember correctly)" The approach I've taken is to create a port standard for each JVM instance, where each protocol in use within the JVM has its own unique port number, this prevents conflict between multiple Tomcat instances. E.G. Where there are four Tomcat instances calling shutdown - tomcat0/conf/server.xml:<Server port="10005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> tomcat1/conf/server.xml:<Server port="10105" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> tomcat2/conf/server.xml:<Server port="10205" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> tomcat3/conf/server.xml:<Server port="10305" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> The same approach applied for HTTP connector - tomcat0/conf/server.xml:<Connector port="10080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" tomcat1/conf/server.xml:<Connector port="10180" protocol="HTTP/1.1" tomcat2/conf/server.xml:<Connector port="10280" protocol="HTTP/1.1" tomcat3/conf/server.xml:<Connector port="10380" protocol="HTTP/1.1" And so on each other protocol.
