My personal experience has shown both. Shops that plan for enterprise wide services tend to get large servers and host multiple webapps on one container on such machines. This lends itself well to centralized administration, etc.
Shops that add webapps incrementally or at the departmental levels tend to get a machine, install a container and install the webapp on that container. This then becomes a dedicated server for that application. Really big enterprises will run one virtual server with multiple actual servers each with an instance of a container in a web farm/load balancing type setup. This usually sees multiple webapps per container too and the multiple machines are just part of the redundancy mechanics for the enterprise applications. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > > > Howdy, > > >>Would multiple Tomcat instances be run in a production environment > as > well? > > >Yeah, that's what I meant when I said one webapp per instance.
