Hi, Your analogy is interesting but warped. Apache httpd is a web server not written in Java that's very mature, stable, fast, configurable, and you will get very little contention if you claim it's the best in the world at serving static content, CGI scripts, PHP code, handling SSL transactions, and more. But it does not serve any Java content, such as Servlets, JSPs, EJBs, etc.
Apache Jakarta Tomcat is a Java servlet container. It's written in Java (so it'll run anywhere there's a JVM), and it can also serve static content. It can run CGI scripts, though not as efficiently as Apache httpd, and it can handle PHP only in a very very limited fashion. However, depending on your load and requirements, Tomcat by itself may be sufficient for your application. You can use Apache httpd and Apache Jakarta Tomcat together. Apache by itself refers to the Apache Software Foundation, the non-profit organization that sponsors and owns both the http and Tomcat products (as well as many others). Jakarta is an umbrella name for all Java projects within Apache. Sometimes when people say just "Apache" they also refer to the httpd project described above, so newcomers to this area may be confused by the name. I hope this clears things up for you a bit.
