I use multiple Tomcat instances...one for production, testing, development and training. I have decided to get with multiple instances for testing and development it is nice to be able to test different versions of the JDK, which to the best of my knowledge you cannot set in the server.xml and it must be set via the $JAVA_HOME enviroment variable. Please let me know if this is incorrect because it would be great to not have to keep multiple instances. However, there is one other concern that made up go with multiple instances. Suppose, you make a change to the server configuration that requires you to restart the instance. If you are running one instance with multiple server.xml's and restart the testing instance you will also restart the production instance. Again if I am wrong please let me know.
