Running multiple tomcat instances ?????

[Raj Mettai <rm...@broward.edu>]

Hi,

what is the best way to run multiple tomcat instances on single solaris
box ? 

1) Is it Installing multiple tomcats physically.

or else 

2) Installing once and use different server.xml files to start different
instances.

any advantages for one over the other ?

Also, if I do use 2nd process, and if one of the tomcat crashes, how
would I know which tomcat is 
running and which one crashed, because ps -ef|grep tomcat listing is
identical for both instances.

how do you know which instance is using which server.xml ?


thanks
