Ok I gotcha now :) Technically yes J2EE server can function as a webserver, but I wouldn't recommend doing that because its really not what it's meant to do.
As far as the comment that was made to you it seems like they are confusing J2EE and Apache. Yes you could have CF ride on top of Apache however I don't think you can serve it on top of that. I don't think there are connectors available to do so. (I did a quick look up for Tomcat, JBoss, Weblogic, or WebSphere and didnt see them available) I definitely think that if you wanted to do anything on J2EE server I'd recommend using JSPs and Servlets.

We are basically looking for a more robust platform on which to run CF. We have a site with about 500,000 page view per day and every now and again the CF server service will die and the only way we have found to get it running again is to kill the CF server threads (using the kill command) and then start it again, trying to stop the server doesn't work. Some else suggested to a college that using CF on the J2EE platform might help make it more robust, but we have zero experience of the J2EE platform and we where using looking for a basic intro into work it is, does and whether or not it might help. I understand the Apache is not a J2EE server, but I was wondering if the J2EE server replaces the web server (like Apache) or if you still use a web server as well. The server is Dual Xeon 2Ghz with 4Gb RAM and 80Gb IDE Hard Drive. The average load on the machine never gets to high, but the CF server just appears to full over sometimes. We are using CFMX6.1 + Updater, which has improved the stability slightly. Any ideas?
