It is possible to run them side-by-side in two different Tomcat
instances under different JVMs.  For example, on Gentoo Linux I've
installed both the OpenJDK 8 and 11 "slots", as well as Tomcat 7 and
8.5 slots.  The Tomcat startup script can be configured as to which
JVM to use, so I can have a Tomcat 7 running on JDK 8 and a Tomcat 8.5
(on different ports, of course!) running on JDK 11.  The Gentoo Tomcat
packages also include a tool to set up multiple instances of the same
slot, and I could have done it that way.

Your OS may provide similar facilities.  Or you can rig up multiple
Tomcat instances yourself.
