Sounds OK to me if you're simply using Tomcat to handle *.jsp files. However, you'll still need a "work" directory configured in Tomcat to compile the pages into, and separate config files etc. for Tomcat.
A reason for keeping them separate would be to simplify servlet/jsp deployment into the Tomcat container. Also, if you're writing JSP pages exclusively, why not use Tomcat as a standalone server, and skip Apache ?
