We have multiple "applications" in one cocoon. I guess it depends on
what you are doing, how much you can afford to spend on hardware and how
important is zero down time.
If you have loads of money to spend on hardware (including maintenance),
and you are bundling Java classes with Cocoon, then go with multiple
instances of Cocoon. If you have one application server, what I don't
recommend, is a scenario with multiple instances of Cocoon, all sitting
in an a single application server. This is a disaster IMHO. Cocoon is a
beast it is difficult to manage this well. Another thing I don't
recommend is using mount tables. They seem like a good idea, but they
are not as they are managed within Cocoon it is harder to change. In
fact, if you are using an application server, you should try to get as
much of the application off the application server.
I am actually curious as to how people run Cocoon. That is, do you use
an application server (JBoss, SJSAS) or do people get by with Jetty.

Hi Jose,
well I guess that depends a bit on what your environment is.
We at Hippo have used mulitple project -> 1 cocoon in the past, but
switched to using 1 cocoon instance per project.
The problem with multiple project in 1 cocoon is that if one project
causes your server to fail it will drag down all the others.
Also with updates it can be more easy to update only one application
instead of shutting down all project because 1 project needs a new
dependency.
I guess it's more a personal taste, but a good topic IMO to see how
people handle their cocoon environments.

Jeroen

Subject: Multiple or single cocoon instances
Hello,
At the moment we have several cocoon projects, about 20 or so, running
inside the same cocoon, version 2.1.10.
Is this the best way to do it, or would it be better to have one
cocoon instance per project?
Thanks,
Miguel
