Functionality of Apache's HTTP/1.1 module and Tomcat's HTTP/1.1 is the same. The only
difference is the performance of serving static objects.

If you can separate your static content from the dynamic parts, you can easily make
such an arrangement. If not, then the only hope for you is mod_jk (mod_jk2 is still in
testing).

The answer to this question largely depends on your website organization and purpose.
It could be that you can run both Apache and Tomcat, side by side, without any
integration. Apache would listen on TCP:80 and Tomcat on TCP:8080. The presentations
on both servers would have explicit links, like this:
http://www.domain.com:80/path/to/link.html
http://www.doamin.com:8080/another/path/to/link.jsp
If this looks ugly, you can try to "integrate" Tomcat under Apache, using mod_jk,
mod_jk2 or mod_webapp. If you want Apache to serve static contenet belonging to your
web application, then mod_jk is the way.
Nix.
