Putting the Java applications into the same application server would save a fair amount of memory. Running Java applications takes a surprising amount of memory, so having them share a runtime would add efficiency. I think the best thing folks could do to make a "corporate open source spatial" strategy work would be to give folks a means of easily creating apps and moving them through the devel/test/production chain. Access to scripting languages with database access (PHP, Python, whatever) and a standard application packaging standard that allows folks to "deploy from a tag". Basically once an app is "done" in development, tag it and push "deploy" and it's pulled into test without human hands touching it. Once it's passed test, again, mash a button and boom it's live on production. Fun fun fun!
