Hm, maybe my view is too limited, but I really can't see any good reason running two different versions on the same box. What's the user-story behind this configuration? Actually, I can only think of three: - shared hosting, where each customer gets his own Tomcat instance Well, I guess shared hosting is dead anyways, since if you're running a serious business: Go and get your own server - they don't cost that much - Using 3rd party software which is bound to a certain version of a certain servlet-container Well, in this case, you've bought the wrong software. When we are evaluating software, and a provider tells us that he needs a certain version of Tomcat / Java / Windows / IE / ... , he can grab his stuff, and we wish him well. - upgrading Tomcat and keeping the old version - just in case... Again: In times of virtualization, I have the production-machine as a VM on my laptop. I'm testing and developing there, and once it's ready, just put the image on a "real" test-server. After successful testing, the image is propagated to the production-server, meaning old Tomcat is gone. Still, I can see no serious reason why somebody should ask for trouble & run two different Tomcat-version on one box - sorry. Still, you're invited to enlighten me ;) Cheers Gregor -- just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you... gpgp-fp: 3DB13F197F8A0360814885D1F1F1E2EFAD509AFD skype:rc46fi gplus.to/gregor twitter.com/#/2smart4u --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
