Considering the OP mentioned IIS in his post I think it is safe to assume that he is running Tomcat on Windows so you don't need root privileges to open port 80, although Windows Services are run under LocalSystem by default so I recommend changing that to a more locked down user. Unless you have a specialized need there really isn't much reason to put Tomcat behind Apache with mod_jk, there used to be good reason for serving static content but with the Coyote connector Tomcat can keep pace with Tomcat fairly well and even outpace it in some areas. The added configuration and maintenace it introduces isn't worth it unless you need it and if you do need it then you're going to know it before asking.
