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.

Subject: tomcat and apache vs tomcat standalone
I have a very basic question. What are the advantages/disadvantages of
using Apache connected with Tomcat compared to just using Tomcat
Standalone? Assuming I'm just using Java and don't need any other
connector or module like PHP, Perl or C.
Are there any scalability, flexibility or efficiency
differences between
those two options?
