Hrm, do you mean development instances or deployment instances? Development instances do some pretty special things compared with deployment instances started by wotaskd.

As Cliff pointed out, JavaMonitor is kinda particular about not 'sharing' with another instance of JavaMonitor. That being said, if you're talking about deployment, there are docs on "Deploying Multiple Sites" on a single machine: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Deployment/ Deploying_Applications/Deployment/chapter_6_section_8.html

... basically screwing things up ...

Could you be more specific about what seems to be the trouble.
There are many things which could appear 'screwed up'. :-)

Some basics to check:
- look at WOAdaptorInfo on each web server (yes, each and every one - a recent client was round robin'ing to 6 web servers and every one of them had a different configuration - fun... NOT!) - for each wotaskd listed on the WOAdaptorInfo pages, check what's returned by the configuration URI
something like:
http://appserver_name:_taskd_port/cgi-bin/WebObjects/wotaskd.woa/wa/ woconfig (This is how the WOAdaptor gets the list of which apps are running and their details.) - Check that each instance of wotaskd on a single machine has different settings for:
WOPort
WODeploymentConfigurationDirectory
- Check that each instance of JavaMonitor has proper settings for:
WOLifebeatDestinationPort
WODeploymentConfigurationDirectory (mutually exclusive for each instance of JavaMonitor.) - Make sure that each instance of JavaMonitor is controlling separate wotaskd instances. (Make a change and check the appropriate site configuration file.) - change .../wotaskd.woa/Contents/Resources/SpawnOfWotaskd.{sh,exe} (platform specific) to log any startup troubles - turn on logging for application instances and check the logs for errors

Sorry, now I'm just getting silly... Really should have completed that "field survival guide to deployment" handbook that I was working on years ago.

Good luck!
