500 threads total. 100 per worker/Tomcat

I had this question myself. I think I have it figured out now but feel free
to correct me anyone that understands this better.
The workers are threads/groups of threads that are running within the web
servers memory space. They seem to be threads communicating on a particular
port with an open socket to a Tomcat instance. Each separate Tomcat
instance has its own VM and is listening on a different port number/host
combination. I don't think the workers actually do much work. They just
take the information they are given, transmit it to the Tomcat instance, and
hand the reply information from Tomcat back to the web server. All the real
work is done within the Tomcat instances (each of which can have their own
VM).
