Thx a lot Peter. That clarified things for me. Quite embarassing I wasnt aware of the JRE/JVM relationship as when I think about it it seems obvious.

No. > But with one JRE would one crashed instance of Tomcat crash > the others as well? Separate the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Each Tomcat instance runs in its own JVM - its own process. All use the same JRE. Think about running multiple copies of Notepad.exe on Windows. If one copy of Notepad crashes (the JVM), you don't lose the others even though they're all using the same copy of the file (the JRE). - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="Arial">_______________ Vi goer opmaerksom paa, at denne e-mail kan indeholde fortrolig information.
