Re: Running more than one instance of Tomcat on the same machine

[Jason Koeninger <jk...@jjcc.com>]

On the 3.x series, there's a command line switch to tell Tomcat 
where it should look for its configuration file.  That way, you just 
keep everything in the same directory and have multiple server.xml 
files.  You just have to switch some directories and such in server.xml 
to keep the instances independent of one another.

Hope that helps.  Sorry...no experience with 4.x yet.
