I was wondering if there is any issue with hosting a large number of separate webapps on a single Tomcat instance. By large number I mean around 200 or more. Will this greatly impact my memory usage? Also, if I have multiple webapps using a common named package, and the jar for that package is in each webapp's web-inf/lib directory, will it load in a separate memory space than the same package for another webapp, or will it be smart enough to share it if it is the same. Also, what happens if there are different versions of the same package in different webapp's web-inf/lib directory?
