There is no technical reason for Tomcat to shut down, when you stop Apache. I woiuld guess, the way you retrieve the PID for Apache gives you multiple PIDs including the Tomcat PID. A normal kill on the Tomcat java process will call the shutdown hook. Make your script or whatever you use output the PIDs it kills and check, to which processes they belong.
