(serving http requests for the same web application) If you want complete isolation between the webapps, then it might make sense to run separate instances of Tomcat. We do this in production so we can bring one instance of Tomcat down without disturbing the others. It also allows us to mix/match JVM and Tomcat versions between the webapps. > Or can a single instance utilize all the server resources just > fine efficiently? Generally, yes. As Pid points out, you'll need a 64-bit JVM to use all that RAM. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkx4NTIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAUtgCfVAP0tqKzanVsInqR59GfsV9f QmcAoIrUsKwbdD526Fg6RecxZDX5/tYE =YNo3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
