I've been talking about a single installation (i.e. only one binary copy of Tomcat) but using several customized instances (separate conf, webapps, etc. directories). There is no trouble with doing this. I do it myself, although with only a single JVM version, but I know that it is possible. Another poster is also doing exactly what I describe and it's working just fine. > 1) The second VM will have problems binding to ports, as the first one > will already have claimed the port.

If I had two copies of that install, then I would have to upgrade twice (one for each install). That's why I call this a single installation and not multiple installs. > 2) Compiling jsp might end up in java 5 format .class, which the java > 1.4 JVM is unable to load. Certainly, which is why you want to be careful about not accidentally running your 1.5-compiled stuff in 1.4, which is unlikely to happen, given that the OPs requirement is that one of his webapps /always/ runs under 1.4. > 3) you will have concurrent access to the work directory by 2 process, > which can lead to corrupted files. There are separate work directories, so this is not an issue. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFrO6V9CaO5/Lv0PARAnMRAKCQRXbwizOG4ftKH+ZY7DZRTc5EtgCZAQeJ YH9tltH3uhK/0OMJVtTv0uI= =RKdn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
