It depends.
If you (or your admins) can't do a good job of securing apache. Then one
could argue - that you be LESS secure if your ran apache in front of Tomcat.
Personally - the only reason I would run apache in front of Tomcat
because of mod_rewrite.
Since adding (or removing apache) is a transparent operation to the user
(browser) - I would not put apache in front of tomcat and only do so -
when it makes sense. Why admin 2 packages when you don't need to?

Hello guys,
i hope you can help me...
We want to run a java enterprise application on Tomcat. But we don't know
what is better, Tomcat (6.0.14) as standalone or Tomcat behind an Apache
(2.0.59 or 2.2.x) with mod_jk.
If a customer has Apache already installed, we will use the configuration
with mod_jk. But what to do when there is no web-server? Are there any
reasons NOT to run Tomcat as a standalone-server in a produktive
environment? The most important point is security: would it be "easier to
hack" an standalone Tomcat than Tomcat+Apache?
Performance shouldn't be a problem because there is only 1 application.
