As I know, Tomcat could worked as a tiny web-server. If you work for a
very small site or for the testing purpose, you may use tomcat without
apache web server.
Apache is proven as a stable, well-functioned web server but without the
functionality of
excuting servlets and JSPs. If you want to use them in apache. You need a
servlet/JSP engine.
Of course, tomcat could be one of them.
