The question can be abstracted out a step to "how do I run multiple JEE instances on one server?" If you ask that question you'll find plenty of help on the internet. I've done what you're asking, on Tomcat, JBoss and Jetty and the quick answer is that you have to make sure the different instances aren't trying to listen on the same ports.
If you haven't used Railo before, you might not know that it separates sites across a single JEE instance. This way you can run multiple web sites on one Railo application and one application server, with each site having its own settings and web administrator. You might not need separate JEE instances. Remember too that Railo provides consulting services. Go that route and you can be pretty much guaranteed that things will be done right. - Andrew.
