If you run tomcat in a cluster where all the webapps are identical, we use
the exact same (copy) of server.xml for all the tomcat instances. So when one
server.xml is changed - we copy it to all of the tomcat installations.
Then we rely on variable substitution in server.xml for items which

OK. I understand the separation point. I think as long as I can start
separate instances by referencing a separate server.xml file, I'll do it
that way. If I need to upgrade one web app, then I can split it out
then.
Thanks for the input. It's appreciated.

As far as Tomcat 4.x and 5.0.x, Tomcat uses

alternative. Optionally, you can pass '-config fullpath' to the main

config file. For example:

If anyone does, what are some pros and/or cons to doing things this way?
Thanks.

I would say one of the benefits is the ability to have sites using
different versions of Tomcat and Java. We run two instances on our main
server: one hosts our official sites, the other hosts user
(student/faculty) sites.
This lessens the possibility that any 'untrusted' code on our user
