That'll do it.

You can use the host manager webapp to do things like that. The
problem is that the host manager does not persist the changes
anywhere, so you'd have to either write them somewhere (like
server.xml) yourself at the same time you hot-deployed them, or you'd
need to re-hot-deploy every vhost every time you restart Tomcat.

If you modify server.xml, yes: you have to shut down Tomcat and bring
it back up.

Is there a way you could get away with using the hostname for
self-configuration at request-time? If you could do that, you would
only need a single <Host> and a single deployment of the webapp. The
only things that would need to change when you wanted to support a new
"vhost" would be to shove some configuration somewhere that you can
key-off the hostname (db, for instance).
