The only time you really need Apache web server along with Tomcat is if there are some basic functionality in apache that you need that Tomcat currently doesnt provide. I.E. mod_rewrite, or some other custom module.
In theory you can change the source to do X Y and Z but if apache which has a long stable history and can does it better, it might be simpler just to use the apache. Just my take on the matter.
