Isn't Tomcat supposed to be used in conjunction with a good
webserver like Apache ?

I find tomcat to be an elegant solution as a standalone web server but
I would probably hitch it to apache if i needed an advanced feature
like mod_rewrite and such.

although you might still want it at least for load balancing and a few
