How to create sub-domains in Apache Tomcat 8

I have installed Apache tomcat 8 on my windows server 2012 where I need to store my Java applications. I have 3 apps: app1, app2, app3

Right now if I put into my - Tomcat 8.0\webapps folder war file called ROOT.war app starts on address mydomain.com and works fine - but I need to be able to run several apps at the same tomcat - Thats's why I want to create subdomains 

app1 should launch on app1.mydomain.com 
app2 should launch on app2.mydomain.com 
app3 should launch on app3.mydomain.com

How can I fulfill this?

I search similar topics here on stack-overflow but nothing helped.

Please help.

Actually I solved my issue like this: I have configured server.xml file located in my case in Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\conf folder

found there this code:

 <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

    <!-- SingleSignOn valve, share authentication between web applications
         Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
    <!--
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" />
    -->

    <!-- Access log processes all example.
         Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html
         Note: The pattern used is equivalent to using pattern="common" -->
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
           prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
           pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />
  </Host>

made a copy of it and replaced the values with my subdomains:

 <Host name="app1.mydomain.com "  appBase="app1.mydomain.com "
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

    <!-- SingleSignOn valve, share authentication between web applications
         Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
    <!--
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" />
    -->

    <!-- Access log processes all example.
         Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html
         Note: The pattern used is equivalent to using pattern="common" -->
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
           prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
           pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />
  </Host>

and that's it actually.

For myself I also removed default localhost HOST and now I have only subdomains.
