heya!
You don't need to run apache, but its recommended.
here are pro's and contra's from :
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/tomcat-apache-howto.html#coo
peration_need
1. Tomcat is not as fast as Apache when it comes to static pages.
2. Tomcat is not as configurable as Apache.
3. Tomcat is not as robust as Apache.
4. Tomcat may not address many sites' need for functionality found
only in Apache modules (e.g. Perl, PHP, etc.).
For all these reasons it is recommended that real-world sites use an
industrial-strength web server, such as Apache, for serving static content,
and use Tomcat as a Servlet/JSP add-on.
