In terms of mall type stores I understand that generally to mean
unrelated stores (ecommerce sites) running from one instance of OFBiz.
So customers from mall A.com won't see products from mall B.com and
importantly backend access will keep the orders and everything else
separate as well. So to be clear OFBiz is not suited OOTB to host
multiple separate malls from one instance. But it is relatively easy to
host another domain/site from one instance of OFBiz that may target a
slightly different market leveraging the same or similar products under
a different brand, the reasoning's for this will be left to the
marketing discussions but it's possible OOTB with OFBiz.

So what is the association between AppOne.com and AppTwo.com? Are they
separate companies? Just different branding same company? Do you want
one backend database for both the domains? Do you allow someone
registering on AppOne.com to access AppTwo.com?

1: Different catalogs can be used to publish different products with
their own look and feel for the domains. Depends how much you want to
customise as to whether you need 0, 1 or 2 hot deploy applications.

2: I think BJ was pointing you to ajp for this, which is a perfectly
good suggestion. If you're not fronting with Apache or anything else I'm
sure you can still do it with Tomcat but you'll have to dig a little
deeper in to the OFBiz/Tomcat container to check that.

3: Not sure who "their" refers to?
