I am afraid, you are out of luck... But I hope someone will say I am wrong...
The apache has a "parent" process which runs as root, and spawns children
processes as "nobodies" (or whatever). Tomcat is running a single
process, does not spawn children, and from the beginning to the end
is the same user (starts and dies the same user id).
But of course, you can always start Apache as root to listen to port 80
and talk to tomcat, which does not have to run as root if its
Connctor runs on a port > 1024 (say 8007).
