So you want to have separate instances (e.g. JVM processes) but you
want them all to use the same set of parameterized configuration files?

Why not have a set of scripts that generates server.xml files on the
fly for you? That's what we have set up through ant: we have a
template server.xml (and context.xml for our webapps) and then we
merge parameters for each webapp (or instance) at deployment-time.

I think you will never want to use the same work and/or temp
directories because you could have two instances with the same context
deployed and they would interfere with each other in unexpected ways.

I think it's likely to be overly complicated, since you need to
maintain a whole set of scripts that basically just moves the problem
of separate server.xml files into separate script files. What's the
difference?
