I don't see why you'd do the first approach on a single box. This approach is commonly used to let you separate your web and application tiers onto different boxes (often for security reasons). Historically, the wsconfig tool doesn't work all that well with Apache, so you'd typically have to do a bit of httpd.conf editing after the fact. I don't know if that's still the case, to be honest.
