If by JVM you mean "the files installed to support Java on the computer", yes.
One Java installation can support many concurrent processes running Java.
If by JVM you mean "one process running Java", no. Each Tomcat must run in its
own process.
> What are your views on this?
I've successfully run up to three Tomcats on the same machine, as three
processes, all with the same JAVA_HOME. It's a good way of providing isolation
between applications, or even Tomcat versions (I was running two 5.0.x, one
5.5.x).
> Any relevant documentation on configuring them this way?
See the file RUNNING.txt in the Tomcat zip you download. There's a section at
the end on running multiple Tomcats on the same box. Setup can get a little
interesting if you're running on Windows and want both processes to start as
services, but even that's entirely possible to configure.
