Are you asking if the Tomcat community knows how python/rails users typically configure their servers?

If your webapp is stable, I would run a single, large JVM. If it's not stable, then running multiple JVMs will certainly increase your redundancy. A multi-JVM setup also allows you to upgrade one webapp instance and then the other to minimize (or eliminate) downtime -- see your other thread on this subject. If you have multiple webapps, then the choice is up to you. In production, we run separate webapps in separate JVMs -- that allows us the most flexibility and protection against one webapp suffering some problem like OOME and affecting the others. > I realize python/ruby do this because of their poor threading > support.
