Tomcat includes its own "web server" capabilities. When you point your
browser at URLs on port 8080, you are talking to Tomcat's internal HTTP
connector, and bypassing Apache or any other web server.
You should only install Apache if you need something it provides that
Tomcat doesn't, Otherwise, running on Tomcat standalone is perfectly
sufficient.
