hi GB,

 From catalina.bat

rem   CATALINA_HOME   May point at your Catalina "build" directory.
rem
rem   CATALINA_BASE   (Optional) Base directory for resolving dynamic
portions
rem                   of a Catalina installation.  If not present, resolves
to
rem                   the same directory that CATALINA_HOME points to.
rem

you can have multiple instances of tomcat with multiple directories for
CATALINA_BASE.

I'm not sure if there's any easy mechanism to predict if multiple
CATALINA_BASE will work better than multiple independent JVMs each pointing
to separate tomcat directories.

As an earlier user mentioned, run top to figure out how much CPU is being
sucked by Tomcat. BTW, which version of Tomcat and JVM are you using ? We
found Tomcat 5.5 to be much better(40% - 120%)  than 4.x or even 5.0x series
when used with JAVA 1.5.X.

Can you add some logging around your JDBC calls to SQL Server -- that way
you can find out the time consumed by the DB at 100 users versuse the
timings at 300 users.

How do you propose to add a 'separate instance of Tomcat' without 'adding
a
separate JVM'?

Or do you/others mean by 'instance of tomcat' = 'a separate physical
server
with single instance of JVM/Tomcat' ?
