You are preaching to the choir here about the multiple installs. But I can't. This is running on an AS400. And the clients are very particular on what you can install. So I am stuck. FYI: The dev, test, and production is for my software not Tomcat. So I have 3 or more versions of the software that I have to support. I want to have 1 tomcat installation will all of the versions on it at my customer site. Actual development happens on my laptop but sometimes I have versions that the customer has to play with and give feedback on that aren't ready for testing. This I would install under dev, then others that are actually in the testing phase and then finally production.
On my laptop I have multiple tomcat installations but I don't have that luxury on the customer's as400. So my thought process is I will have to change my software that communicates with the web services so that it calls different web services depending on dev, test, or production. However I don't want to have to do this. It would be better if I could just change the port. I don't know if a virtual host would give me anything or not.

Trying to run three separate environments on one Tomcat will *require* renaming a bunch of stuff. Running separate Tomcats for each avoids that issue. > Can Tomcat be setup so 3 VM instances are ran under one > tomcat installation? Assuming you mean JVM, not VM, you can read RUNNING.txt in the Tomcat home directory to see how multiple Tomcat instances can be run with one copy of the Tomcat jar files. But I'm not sure what you think you're gaining by doing so. Having separate installations and running instances lets you test on a new Tomcat version before committing it to production. > With the constraint that only one tomcat can be installed on > the system what is the best way to run 3 separate environments? Get rid of the constraint; it's nonsensical. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
