It does not start different JVMs - however, given the way the tomcat classloader works ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html ), the instances are separate. I have a bunch of servers with separate log4j configurations on each context to support my point ;)
But you made me remember an important point - log4j.jar must be only inside the contexts, and not in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib or $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib On 2/27/06, Bender Heri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does Tomcat start a separate JVM for each WEB-INF application?
