I was interested in seeing how it compared to the regular Apache server. I am not sure of the advantages of combining multiple tiers. The reason to keep them separate is to be able to scale by adding servers to a specific tier.
My experience has been keep the tiers separate. I am not sure how secure Tomcat is compared to Apache so combining multiple tiers may include additional risks. If you really want to get better performance eliminate Apache altogether. At least that is what I have heard here in this newsgroup. I am down to 4.2msec round trip for my type of requests as measured at the client and want better than that and the conclusion is to eliminate Apache as soon as I can find a good Blog software install for Tomcat rather than one that uses Perl.
