running apache just for port mapping would be an overkill. does any one foresee a potential problem
with port-mapper solution ?

As I said there are at least three options:
- Use tomcat behind a webserver (Apache, IIS) and connect it with mod_jk*
This is the best documented attempt.
- Use tomcat behind a proxy (Apache, squid, ...).
That means tomcat is still listening on 8080 and the proxy
directs the requests from port 80 to 8080 - Use Tomcat behind a port mapper
Quite (if you don't look to close) the same solution as the proxy (iptables)

But I have not been able to figure out a way to downgrade the privileges of the Tomcat process after it has accessed the privileged resources. I have been told that Apache can donwgrade the privilege level of processes after they have accessed privleged resources but how do I do this to tomcat?
