We were going to use Apache because it supports SSL. Can Tomcat support
SSL also?

Subject: RE: Why use apache
Tomcat is written in Java. Apache is written in C/C++. Java is
interperted. Apache is not. Therefore, when serving the same content,
Apache is faster. With that being said, however, it really depends upon
what it is that you are serving. Our application has ~12 static file (1
image, 1 css, 4 html for frameset, the rest are JS) and about 75
JSP/servlet
files. For us, there is a cost for adding Apache in from of Tomcat,
instead
of a benefit, because close to 95% of our requests end up going to Tomcat
anyway.
So, the answer is it really depends. Look at your usage patterns -
if its almost exclusively Tomcat-served dynamic content then go with just
Tomcat. If its mostly static with a few dynamic pages the go with Apache
and Tomcat. If its in between, experiment and test to determine what's
best
for your application.
