really? that's pretty cool, I didn't know that. do you have any metrics?
Apart from integration into a larger site or static content, when would
you put httpd in front of tomcat?

doh! load-balancing of course...
I don't know, I'm a stickler for the old "do one thing, do it well",
tomcat rocks at serving dynamic java, apache rocks at being internet
facing serving static & CGI. the jk connector is good & solid, so I'm
happy to keep everything separate and only have tomcat serving dynamic
pages. plus that way if you ever run into scalability problems you have
the infrastructure to scale right there!

This might count as "integrating into a larger site", but I use Apache
httpd to front multiple instances of Tomcat through a single port number
(by mapping webapps individually through mod_jk). This allows me to
start and stop a single webapp, upgrade the JVM and/or Tomcat running
it, and then bring it back up again without disturbing the other
applications.
