I have found the following at http://www.jboss.org/documentation/HTML/ch10s02.html.
Linux users probably already know that linux does not support real threads. Under
heavy load, JBoss will for example crash with 200 concurrent users under linux,
whereas it can handle 1000 of them on the same box with Windows 2000. Of course, if
you use Apache or Jetty in front of JBoss to handle the thread pooling, this will not
be a problem.
So if it is ture, I think that Apache should be a reasonable front part, especially
for production use.

Java is an interpreter that reads bytecodes generated by javac (the java
compiler) and at runtime converts those bytecodes into machine instructions.
Apache is a natively compiled executable designed for one specific purpose -
serving web content quickly. If you create a module that "is" Apache, it
would have to run under the Java interpreter, and could thus not possibly
approach the performance of a natively compiled Apache.
Now, you may argue that in the era of 2 GHz CPUs, the difference might
become unnoticeable. That is an armchair debate. By the way, Tomcat
already comes with a web server built in, so you don't need Apache at all if
you are content with the functionality and performance of the Tomcat's web
server.
