I typically copy all of CATALINA_HOME for each tomcat instance and never use CATALINA_BASE.

So in other words - I start with one tomcat install. Get it working - then copy the whole thing to a new dir. The only difference between those 2 tomcat installations is server.xml. Yes - I end up with redundant copies but I prefer it that way. But when I want to upgrade or make changes - its much easier to keep things running 24x7 since the directories are NOT shared.

I do not keep any webapps inside my tomcat installation. They all live somewhere else on my filesystem.

the jsp pages from the original instances.
