Hi Eitan,
Apache as far as I know is a powerful full blown
HTTP server. Tomcat is also a webserver and as you
already know it supports servlets and JSP's.
The internals of how Tomcat and apache differ I do
not know. But from the docs I guess it's the divide
and rule policy. Anyting related to static it is
directed to Apache since it is a proven and powerful
HTTP service and when it is servlets or JSP it is
redirected to Tomcat.
Basic developement we can use Tomcat I guess for
production it is better to use Apache to serve the
static files. There is more to it...this is my part.
