LJ, Perfectly valid but I don't think it's going to be the best way to deploy Mid Tier. The biggest issue with Mid Tier, the issue that hasn't been correctly addressed in the last 8 years, is the poor memory consumption and cache performance. As such, multiple Mid Tiers means multiple sets of misery on the same JVM. I'd therefore suggest separate Tomcats (and hence separate JVMs) to run this memory hungry application.
