Mulitple JVMs

Dear All, Due to a version upgrade of some third-party component accessed through J-Integra (Java/COM bridge) I've been informed that I need to run the new version in a different JVM to the rest of my webapp (the earlier versions lived in harmony). I know I could have a separate Tomcat on a

Hi, One webapp can only run in one JVM. But if you are splitting your webapp, you can use the CATALINA_BASE/CATALINA_HOME approach QM referred to, or have an entirely new Tomcat instance. It doesn't make that big a difference. That's is what I thought, but thanks for

Hi, I've just started to use ANT to build my webapp and then deploy it to Tomcat as a WAR file (using the catalina-ant.jar stuff). Only having to release one file is great, but I've hit a problem of my own making. My webapp writes various XML files to datestamped dir within the webapp context.
