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.
