Kamal Good to hear this recommendation. We certainly can't afford lots of hardware, we don't have lots of special Java classes ... so I think we should keep going with our "multiple apps per one Cocoon per one server" scenario. We are using POT (Plain Old Tomcat) to host 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.
