you also have to take care about the config-files, and the
exported content. but it should work. 



another approach: running to instances of tomcat (one production and
one for developing) on different ports and apache for proxying. 

then you can just switch the destination-ports in the apache-config,
restart apache and there you go. with minimal downtime.
