How did this go? Were you able to get Tomcat playing nicely with Apache? Post any error messages you are having trouble resovling so we can help.

From what I understood, tomcat ran on its own as its own webserver.

Am I wrong??

Yes, it does run as its own webserver, and it does a great job of serving dynamic content and can even serve static content, but Apache is much better. By connecting the two you can offload some of the work from Tomcat, which is usually busy serving servlet and jsp requests. Then the work of serving images, javascript, css, etc. is done by Apache. You really won’t see a difference in performance unless you are running a really large site.
