Quickly: yes, there are all sorts of advantages to using Apache with Tomcat: - don't have to run Tomcat as root on port 80 - can use all Apache modules - can use other dynamic technologies (PHP, etc) - Apache is tuned for static content, Tomcat is not - One or many Apaches can distribute load to one or many Tomcats (even on separate machines) ...and on and on. In general, use Tomcat stand-alone unless there is a need for Apache. Many people have problems getting the two to work together, it may not be worth the effort if your project doesn't really need Apache.
