But at the end of your message you write: > We have too many instances to consider running each hosted app in its > own vm. Well, why would you want to do that anyway? To increase application isolation? So do you have, say, three Tomcats, each in its own JVM, running under a user account of your choice, and each hosting, say, five apps? > The biggest gotchas I can think of is can we get tomcat to run as a > non-admin user and will tomcat respect ntfs file system permissions > that should be setup for separate logs, temp files, etc.? Of course you can run Tomcat as non-admin. NTFS permissions is not something Tomcat may choose to respect or ignore, but something that is forced upon Tomcat by the OS. -- Michael Ludwig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
