RE: Multiple tomcat containers or instance on same servers
I eventually installed version 6.0.36 & 7.0.29 as the highest supported version by the concerned applications respectively. I used the installer and both applications seen to be running fine. Though still testing, but would like to be rest assured of this 2 version decision before going into production. Is there any foreseeable complications that could emerge from such configuration?

You gave some examples in those comments. it would be nice to see examples to clarify the statement above, too.
RE: Multiple tomcat containers or instance on same servers
The new application I wanted to add to tomcat environment actually required its own container. My understanding so far is configuring multiples applications, even with different listening ports in a single installation is still one container. Once a different container is required, there has to be a second tomcat installation instance. Please feel free to correct me. David's offer to put something together will be appreciate for the none tomcat specialist.

RE: Multiple tomcat containers or instance on same servers
Thanks for all your feedbacks. Is multiple versions supported or all instances have to be the same build.

Jeff? Mark E? I might be able to put some time into this over the nest few days; I have a system with about a dozen services all running from the same installation of TC. I have written some batch files that handle the service creation for me, though I tweak the TC configuration .xml files manually.
