I want to to deploy a tomcat server such that it listens on two ports simultaneously (both for http protocol).

Just to make sure that you understand this requirement correclty , We have only one server instance but want to listen on two ports for HTTP protocol. For example anybody can access applications deployed in my server using port numbers 7080 and 8080

Is it possible to do that? If possible how can we achive this?

It's very simple. You only need to take a look at the conf/server.xml configuration file to add a new connector for the port you want. For example, if you have a connector like this:

<Connector port="8080" 
           protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" 
           URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

Just add a new connector same as above in the configuration file, but altering the port parameter. That's all. Restart and you're done.
