To save some disk space you could have one complete set of the binary distribution and from your 3 directories, create symbolic links to static files. They are most everything except config and log files and the startup scripts. This is also good when you are upgrading tomcat or want to make changes that should apply to all copies.

It's not a *bad* way, as you can upgrade each one independently if required. You could save a little disk space by merging the installations, but only a few megabytes. Yes, you'll have to start each instance - each is a separate process. You could write a script to automate this. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
