i have installed apache-tomcat .
In Apache we can use <virtualhost> in httpd.conf to host
more than one websites . But i am having doubt in tomcat
how to host two multiple websites through tomcat.

As per my knowledge, one simple way of doing it is having multiple <Host> tags in your server.xml. Like as follows

Code:

<Engine defaultHost="www.WEBSITE1.com" name="Catalina">
    <Host name="www.WEBSITE1.com" appBase="/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/WEBSITE1">
        <Context path="" docBase="."/>
    </Host>
    <Host name="www.WEBSITE2.com" appBase="/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/WEBSITE2">
        <Context path="" docBase="."/>
    </Host>
    .....
</Engine>

And for information about virtual hosting go through following links
