I mean that my own view is that httpd and Tomcat should not be serving
content from the same directory structure. That way only Tomcat can
possibly serve the files Tomcat is meant to serve and only httpd can
serve the files httpd is meant to serve. If you get your configuration
wrong the worst that will happen is a 404.

If Tomcat and httpd serve files from the same directory structure and
you get your configuration wrong the worst that can happen is that files
that are never meant to be accessible are readable to anyone with a browser.
