>From the folks I've talked to, many front Tomcat with Apache for superior SSL performance. This is the common Apache + Tomcat/mod_jk solution that Stephen described.
We have an alternative that we are very happy with, that leverages the SSL performance of Apache with the simplicity of a Tomcat-only solution. As of (I believe) Tomcat 5.5.x, there is a "native" HTTP connector that is a JNI wrapper around the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), that underlies Apache. The beauty of this approach is that you get near native code performance for Tomcat connection handling, including SSL encryption. You simply install the APR native connector and configure Tomcat to use it via server.xml. If you're interested in this approach, you can read more at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html.
