hello,

Here we need to have two instances of Tomcat 5.0.30 running at the same time
(tomcat1 , tomcat2) , for sure on differents ports,
BUT those instances must have the same webapps folder.

Why?

This requirement is not compatible with Tomcat configuration - what goal does it serve?

../webapps : app1
                    app2
                    app3
                    app4

tomcat1 should host app1 and 2
and tomcat 2 should host app3 and app4

You appear to know already this is problematic. How is Tomcat supposed to know which app to deploy for each running instance, if you've put all of the apps in one webapps folder?


You /could/ put all of the webapps in one /location/, but it can't be the configured webapps folder and you'll have to do manual work each time you want to make config changes. It would arguably be more fragile.

IMHO you'd be better off fixing the requirement.

What's wrong with

 ../host1/webapps
 ../host2/webapps

?
