No need for separate Tomcat, Apache, or database. JBoss is a great way to get started because it includes Tomcat, Hibernate, and a database, and it looks after them for you.
As for why use an app server? Now that EJB3 has arrived I feel the balance has tipped back in favour of app servers: * I love EJB3, and the simplest way to get it today is in an app server. Good embeddable EJB3 (ie. the lightweight container version) is just around the corner. * I dislike XML config. * I like the enforced disciplined of doing a session facade. * I like the way an app server makes the business layer callable by EVERY other layer, not just the web. * JBoss makes it a piece of cake to hot deploy web and business together - just drop in an EAR file. Ultimately, however, it comes down to personal preference, as the things I value may not be the same things you value. I can only suggest giving it a try and seeing what you think!
