Running multiple Tomcat 7.x / Tomcat 8.x / Tomcat 9.x / Tomcat 10.x embedded containers within the same JVM

Tomcat 7.x has introduced a class called TomcatURLStreamHandlerFactory where the singleton has a static instance field and a final registered attribute which are not always in sync and cause unexpected exceptions. Due to this, it is not possible to execute Tomcat 7.x, Tomcat 8.x, Tomcat 9.x and Tomcat 10.x embedded in the same JVM, in addition running one of these Tomcat embedded versions one after the other within the same JVM but different classpaths might also fail.

If you want to be safe, prefer using the Installed Container. Also note that Tomcat 11.x onwards has gotten rid of that class.

With Tomcat 7, the Tomcat manager has multiple aspects to be careful about:

Your browser by default accesses the HTML-based manager whereas Codehaus Cargo needs to use the text-based manager. As a result, if you want to set the RemotePropertySet.URI manually, please make sure you set the URL for the text-based manager, for example http://production27:8080/manager/text
The text-based manager requires to be accessed by a user with the manager-script role; and by default no user has that role. As a result, please make sure you modify your tomcat-users.xml file to give that role to a user.
You can read more in the Tomcat documentation: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html
