hihi,
another (simple) way to think about the difference is that Apache
serves static web pages, whereas Tomcat *can* do some server-side
processing and serve dynamic web pages.
all else being equal (and with no mods installed on Apache such as
CGI/SSI/PHP), everyone visiting an Apache hosted website will see
exactly the same set of web pages.
in contrast, a Tomcat hosted website *can* display different content
for the same requested web page for each visitor.
you can use Tomcat to host totally static websites and not use Apache
if you wanted to. but Tomcat is meant for dynamic websites that
interact in some way with the user (ie. capture and process user
information) to produce custom results.
