doh! load-balancing of course...

I don't know, I'm a stickler for the old "do one thing, do it well", tomcat rocks at serving dynamic java, apache rocks at being internet facing serving static & CGI. the jk connector is good & solid, so I'm happy to keep everything separate and only have tomcat serving dynamic pages. plus that way if you ever run into scalability problems you have the infrastructure to scale right there!

you put httpd in front of tomcat?

This might count as "integrating into a larger site", but I use Apache
httpd to front multiple instances of Tomcat through a single port number
(by mapping webapps individually through mod_jk). This allows me to
start and stop a single webapp, upgrade the JVM and/or Tomcat running
it, and then bring it back up again without disturbing the other
applications.
