This might not be a bad idea for a number of reasons, but it is by no
means required.

You can download the Tomcat 7 source package and use the security
filters from Tomcat 7[1] in Tomcat 6: there is nothing in there that
actually requires Tomcat 7 to run.

All supported versions of Apache web server work with app supported
versions of Tomcat (as well as Tomcat 6). You have several choices for
how to connect them together, but the most straightforward is to use
mod_proxy_http from httpd to Tomcat. Tomcat behaves exactly as it did
before and requires no additional configuration unless you are moving
TLS termination from Tomcat to httpd. If that's the case, there are
many guides on the web as well as on Tomcat's Presentations Page[2]
that document how to do that.

Hope that helps,
