Thanks Iain. We have a pretty complex virtual host setup already configured in Apache which is why I felt it best to use apache as a front-end. It's also for educational purpose.

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 ?
