Sharing a Tomcat Instance

If you want to share a Tomcat instance between Oxygen XML Web Author Component and another web application, the following issues need to be considered:

• Oxygen XML Web Author Component reads and sets system properties, and while we try to namespace those that are specific to Oxygen XML Web Author Component, there is no guarantee that there will not be any clashes with those set by other applications.
• You have to adapt the JVM's memory configuration to the scenario where there will be more applications competing for the same pool of memory.
• The Oxygen XML Web Author Component currently does not restart (or reload in Apache Tomcat terminology) correctly unless the Servlet Container is also restarted.
