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.
Assuming when you say "different container", you mean the same thing
that Tomcat does by "container", then no, that's not necessary. You can
set up multiple apps with complete isolation between them even with a
single installation of TC.

Please feel free to correct me.
David's offer to put something together will be appreciate for the none tomcat
specialist.

Thanks for all your feedbacks.
Is multiple versions supported or all instances have to be the same build.
You can have it any which way you wish, e.g. single tomcat in single
catalina_home with multiple instances each with own catalina_base, or
multiple versions of tomcat each in own catalina_home each with one or
more instance each with own catalina_base. You can setup a right mess
if you wish...
Yeah, what he said...
I have done it both ways, depending on the requirements of the apps
being hosted. I prefer to have only one instance of TC installed, but
have at times had multiple versions running during transition periods.
I thought sure that the Tomcat Windows Service page of the users' guide,
but it is /not/ there:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html
I wonder if there are any heavy Microsoft Windows users that could
offer to write a section on Multiple Tomcat Instances specifically
with Microsoft Windows Services. The file RUNNING.txt only explains
how to set up Tomcat itself (CATALINA_HOME versus CATALINA_BASE) but
says nothing about how to configure Tomcat's service runner to point
to one (other than inferring that one ought to set CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE appropriately).
For instance, it's probably important to give the services distinct
names ;)
The only things that seem to be missing are
a) set CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE before running service.bat
b) when run service.bat, specific a unique service name
c) you need to copy some files around to allow the CATALINA_BASE to be
different from each other, e.g. port config
e.g.
set CATALINA_HOME=c:\tomcat
set CATALINA_BASE=c:\tomcat\instances\instance1
service install tomcat1
Then to install instance two, just run
set CATALINA_BASE=c:\tomcat\instances\instance2
service install tomcat2
If anyone else wants to chip in with any relevant additions, let me
know. I might be able to have a look at updating the documentation
page later, but being as I'm a developer my linguistic skills have
never really been approved off so not sure any changes will be
approved :-)
