Tomcat Virtual host Requests for different wars

Question

What are the best practices for handling multiple host requests with same context path :eg: "my-services" for different environment(Test, Dev, Prod) from a Tomcat 7 server I want my webapplication with different flavors of war, say test.war, dev.war to be deployed on the same tomcat instance. Please let me know what are the caveats in doing this? This war file is Restful web service which will be consumed by a different Apache HTTPD server running on the same machine as that of my tomcat server.

I followed Tomcat documentation but the following links explain it in more elaborative manner
